What anything "weighs" is entirely dependent on its mass and proximity to an asymmetric gravitational field. In general this is gravitational field is supplied by the Earth in normal conversation, and so we equate mass and weight loosely but incorrectly. Since the gravitational field of the Earth varies from place to place, and falls with the square of distance away from the Earth's surface, air weighs differently depending whether it is near the Earth or far above.

Weight of air is also affected by temperature.
