Q: heres a couple other sites for you http//www.ace.mmu.ac.uk/eae/atmosphere/older/atmosphericgases.html http//atschool.eduweb.co.uk/kingworc/departments/geography/nottingham/atmosphere/pages/atmosphericgasesalevel.html http//www.uigi.com/air.html water vapor and steam are not exactly the same thing. do you know the difference yup. same difference between helium as a gas and helium as a liquid. if steam has weight because its water vapor then so does helium as a gas. are you now saying that steam is a liquid or are you just spinning because you dont actually know the answer. water vapor disperses through the air and may be considered weightless ok so now water is weightless. jeez and all those diets to get rid of water weight..... are you now saying that water vapor and liquid water are the same thing however i dont recall many ships sailing in vapor do you depends on just how rough the seas are. really how. are you now saying that a rought sea is actually vapor lol helium is actually lighter than air and that alone makes it different. steam is also lighter than air but its no different it has weight just like helium and just as air does. prove it. what is the density and atomic weight of steam lol steam usually has liquid water in mechanical suspension and that makes it heavier than air. then how does it rise who says it rises perhaps some of that rising you see is due to the energy imparted on it from the pressure and temperature but steam does cool off. helium doesnt depend on its temperature being greator than that of the surrounding gasses to rise. put liquid helium on any scale under normal atmospheric conditions and it will have weight. put helium gas on that scale under the same conditions and it will show nothing at all. pure unadulterated bullshit. see tom ls example of the ice cube. no you just dont understand it or know that you cannot weigh it this way which makes it weightless by definition. http//www.hyperdictionary.com/search.aspxdefine=weightless ive simply taken your theory about helium gas and applied it to another elements as a gas and shown how your theory doesnt work. no you didnt because water vapor can be and is part of the atmosphere and helium is not. really http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/earthsatmosphere#composition better take a look at this they claim it is part of earths atmosphere. lol different web sites say different things. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
