More water per cubic foot of air = less of everything else, including

So, on that volkswagon / SUV parcel size chunk of air, would the air
be less dense? I am not quite sure I understand what you mean above,
but what you describe above, I perceive you saying more dense as the
prop would have to work harder to slice through moisture laden air.

Everything I have read so thus so far, deals with the air in general
going up, is less dense, but nothing within a "benign" fair weather
cumulus cloud. Air below a stratus cloud is more dense then the
stratus cloud itself, and above the cloud is even less dense.

I think I will post to a weather forum and see if they can answer the
meteorological portion of that question.
