Because sand is a more dense substance than feathers - it has a larger mass-to-volume ratio.

Why do bricks take up less space than feathers equaling the same weight as the bricks?
Bricks have more density whereas feathers have less comparatively. Space occupied ie volume = mass/ density. So space occupied is inversely related to the density. Hence feathers occupy more space than the bricks.
Which has a higher density a kilogram of sand or a kilogram of feathers?
Sand. Density is mass / volume. So a higher volume will equal a lower density. Clearly a Kg of feathers will (normally) take up more volume than a Kg of sand therefore the feathers are less dense. You could think of it this way: density is measuring how close together the atoms in a substance are. When the atoms are closer together they take up less volume and the substance is more dense. If you put a Kg of feathers in a box, the feathers would not all join together perfectly meaning that there would be gaps between feathers and therefore the volume taken up by the feathers is greater. You could prove this by trying to push your hand through the feathers. You would be pushing through partly air (which is a mixture of gases and the atoms in a gas are further apart than in a solid) so the task would be easier. It is like comparing pushing your hand through a solid and pushing your hand through solids separated by gas. The latter is easier because there is some "room" for the atoms in the solid to move in to and thus for the feathers to move out of the way of your hand.
Which takes up more room a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?
A pound of feathers because feathers are less dense than lead and therefore take up more volume for the same mass.
What is heavier a ton of brings or a ton of feathers?
A ton of brings does not exist, but if you mean a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers, they both weigh the same - 2000lbs. A ton is an imperial unit of measuring weight - it doesn't measure volume (or space that on object takes up). A ton of bricks would be relatively compact, while a ton of feathers would take up an enormous amount of space.
How many pound of sand does it take to sand blast a car?
5000 lbs of sand, give or take a hundred.
Why does a kilogram of sand take up less space than a kilogram of feathers?
because sand is smaller than feathers and it would take up as much space with the sand , and if the feathers were there it would take up more space because its and larger object than the sand .
Why does a kilogram of sand take up less space then a kilogram of feathers?
i dont know if this is correct butt, i think mass, because , mass is considered as matter half the time, and a feathers kilograms take up less space than sands. this is because of the width of the object or substance? no promises but i think this is rightt <333
Why do bricks take up less space than feathers equaling the same weight as the bricks?
Bricks have more density whereas feathers have less comparatively. Space occupied ie volume = mass/ density. So space occupied is inversely related to the density. Hence feathers occupy more space than the bricks.
What is the difference between 1 pound of feathers and 1 pound of sand?
The difference is in their density. While both weigh the same (1 pound), feathers take up more space due to their low density, while sand is more compact due to its higher density.
Which weighs less a pound of feathers or a pound or rocks?
A pound of feathers and a pound of rocks both weigh the same - one pound. The difference lies in the density of the objects; feathers are less dense, so a pound of feathers will take up more space than a pound of rocks.
Why would 1kg of lead be less akward to carry around than 1kg of. feathers?
Lead is more dense and compact than feathers, so 1kg of lead would take up less space and would be easier to carry around in a smaller package. Feathers are lighter and bulkier, so they would occupy more space and be more awkward to carry.
What takes up more space 50 pounds of sand or 50 pounds of water?
Sand sinks in water, so it is more dense. Density = mass/volume. Or Volume = Mass/Density. For the same mass, more dense substance will take up less volume. So the water takes up more space.
What weighs more a pound of feathers or a pound of concrete?
They both weigh the same, one pound. The difference lies in the volume or amount of feathers and concrete needed to reach that weight. Feathers are much less dense than concrete, so a pound of feathers will take up much more space than a pound of concrete.
Which has the most mass volume a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?
A pound of feathers has more mass. The are lighter so they would take up more space to make a pound.
Why does a kilogram of bricks take up a smaller space than a kilogram of feathers?
the densities are different
Which has a higher density a kilogram of sand or a kilogram of feathers?

Why does a kilogram of bricks take up a much smaller space than kilogram of feathers?
It takes alot more feathers to equal a kilogram than it does bricks
