You can blow up a balloon and then weigh the balloon and minus it from the original weight of the balloon

Answer:

Weighing air is problem because of the buoyant forces at work. If you have flattened paper bag and weigh it then open it up (effectively filling it with air), and weigh it again you find the weight is the same. In the case of a balloon, a filled balloon will weigh more than an empty balloon as it is filled with compressed air due to the tension of the balloon skin. You have no idea of the volume of room pressure air is in it.

To determine this you could inflate the balloon with known volume of air using bicycle pump. Simple math would identify the volume transferred with each stroke. By knowing the weight before filling, the weight after filling, and the volume transferred it would be possible to calclate the weight per meter (or cubic foot) of room pressure air.

you can weigh air by getting a balloon and blowing it up and letting down Again then you get a normal balloon and blow it up thaen strap them both to a clothing hanger and the balloon which ways the most is the inflated baloon. why: because the balloon is holding the air and the balloon's outside therefore making it heavier.

Yes, air has weight because it is made up of molecules that have mass. The weight of the air above us exerts pressure on the Earth's surface, which is known as atmospheric pressure.

yes it does, that's why hot air rises and cold air desends, cause hot air is lighter

air i think weighs very little and has to weigh something because all matter has mass.

Yes air has weight. Pressure, temperature and composition are the different variables that determine how much air will weigh.

You betcha! That weight is called air pressure, and it is measured on a barometer.
