Why does dry sand weigh more than wet sand?
Anyone who has dug a shovelful of wet sand and a shovelful of dry sand will tell you that the wet sand is quite a bit heavier than the dry sand. Dry sand is composed of individual particles with air in the spaces between grains. When you add water to a bucket of dry sand, the water replaces the air. Although the bucket is already full of sand, you can pour in quite a bit of water, adding that much more weight. If you have a choice of which bucket to carry, pick the bucket of dry sand every time!

How much does 1 liter of sand weight?
The weight of 1 liter of sand can vary depending on the type of sand and its moisture content. On average, dry sand has a density of about 1.6 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore, 1 liter of dry sand would weigh approximately 1.6 kilograms, or 1600 grams. However, if the sand is wet, its density would be higher, resulting in a heavier weight for the same volume.
