hi....
here is your answer:

✈ Dry air is denser than wet air.

✈Wet air contain water molecules. Molecular mass of Oxygen and nitrogen is heavier than Water. so dry air is denser.

:)

santoshkandwal: But, humidity is water vapor, not liquidwater, and water vapor molecules arelighter than the molecules of nitrogen and oxygen. The reason of it beingheavier than dry air that it contains moisture in it. Dry air does not contain moisture and hence is comparativelylighter.
Shubhangi4: molecular mass of nitrogen and oxygen is more than water
santoshkandwal: in case of moisture
Shubhangi4: lets see, if answer is dlted so dry air heavier
santoshkandwal: hmmm
TPS: Saying heavier would be incorrect. We can say denser. dry air is denser than wet air.
santoshkandwal: now ur right
Shubhangi4: thanks @TPS :)
TPS: You are welcome:)
