Is 'wind' heavier than air ? Or, is wind lighter than air, which means I would weigh more ?

gas is lighter than air, so it would stand to reason that it would not cause you to weigh less after passing wind.
This question also has NOTHING to do with weddings.

Wind is a moving air. It is the same thing only that the air is still or not moving in normal sense while wind is a moving air.
Comparing the situation with still water and flowing river water, the still water there is like air and the flowing river water is is like wind.
Wind is moving air because of pressure as in the case of storm or strong typhoon wind. There is a force in it causing it to move.
Your weight will be the same after passing the wind but your weight is somehow affected by the wind either plus or minus depending on the direction of the wind, that is, going down or up.
Your actual weight is the same, only that the force caused by the wind counteracts with your weight.

You weigh less. The "wind" wasn't replaced by air and it does have weight. Ergo.

You need to analyze the gaseous output (as with a stack monitor) and compare its makeup to the immediate atmosphere. You probably will be more ... buoyant after "passing wind".

Technically yes, because the chemicals passed are heavier than air, but the amount is so negligible that it doesnt matter.

Try drilling a hole in your head and let some of that "wind" out. I'm sure a few cobwebs might escape as well.

Technically, yes. Even though you do weigh less the change is so miniscule that its almost negligible and unnoticable.
