An object's density is related to its weight and size.
If the density is less than that of water, it will float on the water.
If it is greater than that of water, it will sink.
Water is not very dense - most things don't float on water. This is because they are denser than it and it cannot support them.

How do things float?
things float because they are less denser then the water. second things do not float, the molecules from the water support the molecules from the thing on the water. that is how something heavy can float. it just has to be boyent meaning it is spread out enough so there is more water molecules to hold it up. if you mean in the air it is the same concept.
Why does fresh water float on salt water?
Freshwater is less dense than saltwater, and so it tends to float on top, as less dense things tend to float on denser things.
Do things float in alcohol?
Yes. For every fluid, there are things that float in it ... they just have to be things that are less dense than the fluid. That's how stones float in mercury, logs float in water, and hot balloons float in air.
