Does air have weight?

Air is usually invisible, so most of us don't give it much thought at all. Air seems like it doesn't have mass, but it does.

Watch this video experiment which proves that air has mass. All you need is two balloons, a scale and some air!

When you blow up balloons, air enters the balloons, causing them to expand. As a result, this demonstrates that air takes up space. When we tie the balloons to the scale, one filled with air and one deflated, the balance tilts, i.e., the side attached to the inflated balloon is on the lower side, while the side attached to the deflated balloon is on the upper side.

The weight of the deflated balloon is less. And, due to weight, the inflated balloon falls and the deflated one rises on the scale. Using this, we can demonstrate that air occupies space and has mass. Air has no weight when it is free to move from one place to another, but it contains weight when it is filled inside any container because the air inside a container compresses by the walls of balloons, which gives weight to the air inside the balloon.
