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.

Is the density of steam more or less than the density of water?
Humid air is lighter and less dense than dry air. Steam is water as a gas. Gaseous water is less dense than dry air.
Why you weigh more in the air than in the water?
because there is less gravity in water
Is steam hotter than water vapour?
Steam is much hotter.Steam needs about 100 degree fahrenheit.Water vapor needs less than that
Why do you weigh less in water?
Because sea water is more dense than regular water
Why do you weigh less in sea water?
Because sea water is more dense than regular water
Is the density of steam more or less than the density of water?
Humid air is lighter and less dense than dry air. Steam is water as a gas. Gaseous water is less dense than dry air.
Why does AV gas weigh less than water?
no
Does a liter of water weigh the same as 1 liter of oil?
No. Oil is less dense than water, so 1 liter of oil will weigh less than 1 liter of water.

What makes jet fuel weigh less than water?
Its density
Why can light things float?
They weigh less than the water they displace.
Why do you weigh less in sea water?
Because sea water is more dense than regular water
Is steam hotter than boiling water?
Technically speaking steam has a higher temperature, but boiling water often has more heat energy per volume. Steam starts at 100degrees C, which is the absolute maximum temperature of boiling water, but steam can be much much hotter, all the way up to thousands of degrees. However, steam as a gas is much less dense than water, and so steam at 100C will injure a person much less than water at 100C.
Does 1 pint of gasoline weigh more than 1 pint of water?
No, gasoline weighs less than water.
Does water weigh more than vinegar?
No it Does Not Vinegar mixes with Water meaning that it weighs less or about the same
