aluminum foil is great for heat and moisture retention and is extremely light weight, it also should be noted that there are different grades of aluminum and different compositions so the allows are not exactly the same. aluminum is also extremely light and flexible, and when it cost twenty thousand dollars per pounds to send something into space, you need to take weight into account.

Thickness of heavy duty aluminum foil compared to regular aluminum foil?

The density of the foils is the same. They are both pure aluminum, and they each have the same weight per unit volume (density). But the thicker "heavy duty" foil will weigh more for a given area of foil removed from a roll. This makes sense because the heavy duty foil is thicher, and something like, say, as square foot of this heavy duty foil will outweigh a square foot of "regular" foil.

Does a crumpled piece of aluminum foil into a ball would the mass weight volume and density increase or decrease from what it was?

Crumpling aluminum foil into a ball would not change the mass of the foil, as the amount of material remains the same. However, the volume would decrease as the foil is compressed into a smaller shape, leading to a higher density due to the same mass being packed into a smaller space. The weight of the foil would remain the same regardless of its shape.
