  1. um, neither. if they are both 1 gram, they are the same.


  2. sand weighs more

  3. You are either being tricky or you have phrased your question ambiguously.

    Obviously if you have 1g of both substances, then they weigh the same, although the volume of material will be different based on the density.

    If you are trying to compare equal volumes of the two materials, you have too many variables - is the sand dry or wet?  Is the dirt a fine dust or a heavy clay?  Try doing a websearch on the specific gravity of sand and different kinds of dirt composits.  You might be able to come up with a general idea....
