as a liquid water is heaver then air bacause its density changes.
as a gas water vapor is lighter then air. that is why the pressure drops when its going ot rain because the air above is full of the lighter water vaopr so there is less room for air.

More information is needed to answer this question. A kg of air is heavier than a drop of water, naturally.
If you're wondering which is more dense, the answer Water.

all of them are saying as water .
So i am telling air is heavier than water.

Think of bubbles. Water is heavier as air rises through it.

Neither is heavier if you have not specified a volume. A very large quantity of air can weigh more than a very small quantity of water.
That said, water is about 800 times more dense than air at sea level. You can tell that water is more dense, because bubbles of air rise through water, while water does not float upwards through air.

If you're talking about water in its liquid or solid state, compared to air as a gas, then water is much heavier than air. A cubic meter of air weighs around 3 pounds. A cubic meter of liquid water weighs more than a ton; it's about 800 times as heavy as air.
If you are comparing air to water VAPOR, then the air is heavier. A cubic meter of pure water vapor weighs around a pound and a half; less than half the weight of air.
(For the purists: All values assume standard pressure and temperature, and weights at the earth's surface.)

Generally Water is heavier.

Consult the periodic table and record the atomic mass
number. Of course, other elements might be mixed in with
either the air or water which increase the average density of
a body, but for pure masses refer to the periodic table.

It is the incomplete question , because for this question you should specify the volume of air and water both And you should also specify that which type of gas is present in the air or in which amount. And in water also you should specify that which type of water is that ( distilled , pure , natural , salty , etc,)
