All matter has mass. All things with mass weigh something in a gravitational field.

Gases are matter and on Earth are in a gravitational field, so they weigh something.

Sometimes it would seem they are weight free or even buoyant because of the ther gas in the atmosphere. However in isolation with these effects removed they all have weight.

An example of gas weights: Most atmospheric gases weigh around 30 g per 22.4 liters
