Solids are generally VERY heavy because:
1. Solids are rigid form of matter.
2. Solids particles have more intermolecular force .
2. Solid particles are closely packed .
3. Due to this there are more number of particles present per unit area which makes the density of solids more and thus they are heavy.
Whereas
1.Gases are fluid form of matter.
2. Particles of gases have very less intermolecular space and force of attraction between them is very less.
3. Number of Particles per unit area is less , so less density.
Thus, gases are light compared to solids.

Solids are generally heavy compared to gases because:
1. Solids have definite shape meaning it exacts more force while gases take the shape of a container or their environment meaning that they don't take a definite shape thus don't exact more force.
2. The particles of a solids have more inter-molecular force therefore they are compact while gases have less inter-molecular forces spread over a large area.
3. Solid particles are dense because they are packed tightly together while molecules per unit area of a gas is minimum making it have less density compared to solids.
Therefore due to these factors solids are heavy compared to gases.
