Utilizing the fact that the density of water is somewhat less than 1 kg/L at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, we are able to deduce that the 1 kg soil weights somewhat more.
in order to separate soil from a soil water mixture, we need to boil it, so it will separate both the soil and water will evaporate.
your question is stated wrong! it is should be why does LOAM retain more water than clay and sand.
One litre of water weighs 1Kg. So if the potting mix is compacted so there is no air it can weigh up to 1Kg. However, usually potting mix is not heavily compacted and commonly you'll find it occupies about half a litre of space when compacted. Therefore, a litre of average potting mix will weigh about half a kilogram (500g).
Soil is saturated when it has reached its maximum water content; if any more is added, it will either drain downward or turn the soil into mud.
Soil of course. Soil is more natural, and easier to use. However growing plants with water (Hydroponics) allows you to feed the vegetables specific nutrients, and in exact amounts. So if you know exactly what makes giant tomatoes, you can give whatever it is too them without loss, do too soil drainage. However this usually takes a lot more equipment to accomplish.
sandy soil will allow more water because it is more porous than the clayey soil.
Weigh a certain amount of soil, then dry it (e.g. in an oven), and weigh it again. If it weighs less after drying, then it had water in it at the beginning.

Mud because H20 is water and soil is dirt.

Soil absorbs more light than water does. Water is transparent, so light passes through it. Soil is opaque.
The air in the room weighs almost 5 kg less.
no soil absorbs more

Why, yes worms love soil more cause they couold drown in water. ;)
because sandy soil can absorb water only at a limit
