Weight of air disproves the phrase light as air
An article explains air has measurable weight. A cubic foot of air weighs 564 grains, more than a collapsed balloon, so 2250 cubic feet in a small room weigh about 183.7 pounds. Under 150 psi in a tire air weighs ten times as much, and at fifty atmospheres fifty times. Liquefied air is 1600 times heavier than gaseous air, approaching water weight.
