An ounce of gold will have more mass because mass is how much space an object takes up. Feathers have a low density, while gold has a high density and takes up more space than a pourus (wispy) feather. So an ounce of gold does take up more space than an ounce of feathers.

What weighs more a ton of feathers or gold?
> neither, they both weigh 2,000 pounds > > They both weigh the same. They're both a ton. > The above is not complete.

There are 16 Avoirdupois Ounces in a Avoirdupois Pound 453 grams in a Avoirdupois pound. 373 grams in a Troy Pound So the Avoirdupois pound is heavier. a troy ton is 2450 troy pounds or 913 kg a Avoirdupois ton has 2 weights, the short ton and the long ton. (note: in the US "short ton" is known as ton and long ton is mostly unused, also known as the imperial ton) a short ton, 907 kg (2000lbs) a long ton is 1016 kg (2240 lbs) So, a short ton of feathers weighs less than a ton of gold, a long ton of feathers weighs more than a ton of gold. Fun times. Unless of course you're referring to the metric ton which is 1000 kg (2205 lbs). In which case they are the same weight.
