Feathers are lightweight and have a large surface area, which can trap air and make them appear heavier compared to denser substances with the same weight. This is due to the buoyancy of air and the presence of trapped air pockets within the feathers, which can add to their overall apparent weight.

Iron is much denser then a feather yet particular sample of feathers weighs more then a sample of iron explain how this is possible?

The weight of a sample depends on both its density and volume. While iron is denser than feathers, a large enough volume of feathers can outweigh a smaller volume of iron. For instance, if you have a bulk of feathers that occupies a significant space, their combined weight could surpass that of a small, dense piece of iron. Therefore, it’s possible for a sample of feathers to weigh more than a sample of iron despite the difference in density.
