There are lots of variables. Is it sandy, loamy, clay or mixture? Is it saturated with water or very dry? There is a very wide range, but I would expect it to weigh about 4-5 pounds a cubic foot, with a variability of several pounds either way. I think the weight-per-cubic-foot estimate above is low. Generally, a yard of topsoil is about one ton. Note that "a yard" in this case really means a cubic yard, which is 27 cubic feet. So, a cubic foot of topsoil is about 74 pounds, which seems to make sense inasmuch as a cubic foot of pure water is about 62 pounds. Depending on dirt of course but, approximately 75% of it's volume. Aggregates rule of thumb, the smaller the pieces the lighter the load per volume 1 yard of black dirt=+/- 1500lbs 1 yard of 8" boulders =+/- 3500lbs. boulders or compressed mass.

Which weighs more water or dirt?
Dirt weighs more than water because it is denser. Water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter, while dirt can have a higher density depending on its composition.
Does water weigh more than dirt?
it depends. Water pressure can effect the weight.
Does sand weigh more when it is wet or dry?
Sand, dirt, and other dry things weigh more if it is wet.
What weighs 50 percent more than a gallon of water but when its weight is reduced by 50 percent weighs less than a gallon of water?
A gallon of water weighs about 8.3 pounds. The answer is ice. Ice weighs around 12.45 pounds, which is 50% more than a gallon of water, but when it melts and its weight is reduced by 50%, it weighs around 6.225 pounds, which is less than a gallon of water.
What weighs more water or air?
Water weighs more than air. This is due to the density of the substances - water is much denser than air, so a given volume of water will have more mass (and thus weight) compared to the same volume of air.

How much does a 16 Oz bottle of dirt weigh?
No. In cooking we use dry measure and liquid measure and they are not interchangeable. If you wanted equal amounts of water and dirt you would have to weigh them for them to be the same because water is more dense it weighs more than dirt.
Is there more grains of dirt or more water in the world?
There are more moicules of water in the World
Does sand or dirt soak up water better?
Sand tends to soak up water better than dirt because sand particles are larger and more porous, allowing water to flow through and be absorbed more effectively. Dirt, on the other hand, may have more compacted particles that can hinder water absorption.
Petrolum and water are mixed which weighs more?
Water is heavier
1 cubic yard of dirt is equal to how many tons?
Depends on the type of dirt you are talking about and the water content, but as a guide between 1300 and 1600lbs
What weighs more bricks or water?
it basicly depends on the quantity: if there is more water and less bricks then the water weighs more if there are more bricks than water then the bricks weigh more if the bricks and water are in equal amount, then if the water is really dense it may weigh more... it varies
Does sand weigh more when it is wet or dry?
Sand, dirt, and other dry things weigh more if it is wet.
Is ther more water than dirt on the Earth?
no
What weighs more dirt or sand?
Sand typically weighs more than dirt because it has a higher density due to its smaller particle size. This means that sand occupies less space compared to the same volume of dirt, resulting in sand being heavier.
What weighs more water or acetone?
Water weighs more than acetone. This is because water has a higher density than acetone, meaning that a given volume of water will have a greater mass compared to the same volume of acetone.
