Both steam and liquid water are made of the same substance (H2O). However, in the gaseous form (steam), the molecules are moving more quickly, and they are spread apart much farther. As such, the number of molecules per given volume (the mass per volume) is lower for steam. Mass per volume is the same thing as density.
The density of steam is less than the density of water. This is because steam is in a gaseous state, with its particles spread further apart compared to liquid water.
Steam takes up more space than liquid water because the molecules of water in steam have higher energy and are further apart from each other compared to when they are in liquid form. This causes steam to have a larger volume and be less dense than liquid water.
Fish weigh less in water because of buoyancy, which is the upward force exerted by a fluid that counteracts the weight of the object immersed in it. The water exerts an upward force on the fish that partially cancels out the downward force of gravity, making the fish weigh less in water than in air.
Because sea water is more dense than regular water
No, body fat does not weigh more than water. Both body fat and water have different densities, with fat being less dense than water. This means that for the same volume, water would weigh more than fat.

no
No. Oil is less dense than water, so 1 liter of oil will weigh less than 1 liter of water.

They weigh less than the water they displace.

Steam is formed when water is heated to its boiling point and changes from a liquid to a gas. The steam rises above the hot water because it is less dense than air and is buoyant, creating a visible cloud of water vapor.

No, body fat does not weigh more than water. Both body fat and water have different densities, with fat being less dense than water. This means that for the same volume, water would weigh more than fat.
No, steam and water vapor are actually the same substance, which is gaseous water. However, steam is typically used to refer to water vapor that is hot and at a high temperature, while water vapor can be at any temperature.
No, gasoline weighs less than water.
