Which explains why a bullet goes further when humidity is high.

I drive people nuts by telling them things that go against "common sense" like "humid air is lighter and thinner than dry air" and "blue is hotter than red".

Avogadro's number also explains why an Aircraft's takeoff distance is longer in high humidity.

You would be shocked at how many pilots get this wrong.
