Earth's air is mostly made of Nitrogen (N2) and Oxygen (O2). The molecular weight of each is 28 & 32 respectively. Water is H2O, molecular weight is 18. Humid air will rise.

True in calculations under fixed conditions, not true in chemical applications. This is why good engineers who design dryers are so highly in demand.


Temperature, pressure, and agitation determine whether humid air rises or falls. In most cases, normal convection is often replicated in normal conditions at different temperature and pressures with still air. Agitation will cause a rise/fall to be more prominent in some conditions, while in others it will simply cause a state of confusion.
