When sugar is wet, it absorbs some of the water, increasing its volume but not its weight. This can create the illusion that wet sugar is lighter when measured by volume, but its actual weight remains the same as dry sugar.

What happens if a lighter is wet?

If a lighter is wet, it may not light or produce a flame. This is because water can interfere with the lighter's ability to ignite the fuel. To dry it out, you can try wiping it with a dry cloth and letting it sit in a warm, dry place for some time before using it again.
