    an extremely stupid question that i should know the answer too but...

    ask yourself why helium ballons float!

    Helium = approx 0.1785g/l
    Air = approx 1.25g/l

    It is?! Goodness, maybe the dumbing down stories are right after all then...

    Have a look at this anyway: Gases - Densities

    Oh, and best of luck with the exams! (Now get back to revising, and stop messing round on t'interweb... )
