Will the clothes be lighter if you press all the air out why?

If you were weighing the clothes on the Moon where there is no air - Then if you had the clothes in an airtight case that has bee sealed when you packed the clothes on Earth before you took them to the Moon to weigh - The the sealed case would weigh more than it would do once you had opened it on the Moon (and all the air had escaped) and re-weighed it. Thus the answer is Yes - because air has mass and therefore weighs something. Clothes + air weigh more than "airless" clothes.
