Unfortunately, no. Water vapor has a molecular weight of 18, air is
29. Density varies directly with molecular weight.

So, if you fill a balloon with water, it will fly? Amazing! Does NASA
know about this?

What part of vapor didn't you understand?

Okay, so you are claiming that if I fill a balloon with water vapor
and let go of it, it will float upwards? Why didn't they fill the
Hindenburg with Water Vapor?

Just make sure the temperature is above boiling point.

Obviously SaltyDog has NEVER seen a CLOUD, floating by while he is out
sailing..... what are clouds made out of??? wait for it.....
Water Vapor..... do clouds go UP in elevation.... wait for it....
Yes, they do... therefor Water Vapor MUST be lighter than Air in some
circumstances..... Duh..... Grade School Science must have been on a
day Salty skipped school....

Clouds are a hoax. They are actually hydrogen-filled blimps covered with
cotton balls. Rain is caused by sprinkler systems attached to the blimps.
Thunder is what happens when two blimps collide.

Water Vapor.

The thing that makes clouds visible is droplets of liquid water. The
air is pretty much saturated with water vapor, of course. Usually
clouds rise because they are warmer. That means less dense. The water
vapor is in fact less dense, but the temperature effect is much
larger.

No, but all pilots know that, when humidity, the amount of water in the air
(had to add that in view of the ignorance being displayed here), increases,
the air gets less dense. The plane can carry less weight and takeoffs will
be longer. Less dense is, uh, lighter.

Mr. "I'm gonna make my boat lightning proof" is now calling others
ignorant?
