Basically, if something is lighter than water, it will float. If the water is somehow made heavier, more things will be lighter than it. If you add a lot of salt to water, the body of water becomes heavier. Something that is heavier than water might be lighter than saltwater and float in saltwater but not normal water.

Since salt water is denser that fresh water, things that were previously more dense than fresh water can float in water that is more dense (salt water).

Will an egg float in salt water or tap water?
Eggs float in salt water but not in tap water, which is a fresh water. This is because salt water is more dense than fresh water.
Does salt float in water?

salt water
Can a egg can or can't float in water?
an egg can float in salt water.
Will soda in a can float?

Do people sink or float in salt water?
depends on the concentration of salt. The higher the concentration of salt the more likely you are to float.
Will a egg float in salt water?
Yes, and egg will float in salt water.
Does objects that float in water float in salt water?
Yes. Salt water has a slightly higher density then fresh water which means its a little easier for things to float in salt water. So if it floats in fresh water it will certainly float in salt water.
Is it easier to sink or float in salt water?
it is easier to float, salt water has a higher density. The more salt, the easier it is to float.
Will an objects float better in water or salt water?
an object will float on salt water best
Why does salt float?
Salt is soluble in water, doesn't float.
How do people float in the red sea?
Yes, people can float in the Red Sea, because there is a large amount of salt in the Red Sea. Therefor, objects including people, have more buoyancy so we can float. If you do not know what buoyancy is, it is the ability to float
How do objects float higher in salt water?
Objects float higher in salt water due the density caused by the salt, the more salt present in the water the higher the object will float.
Will an egg float in salt water or tap water?
Eggs float in salt water but not in tap water, which is a fresh water. This is because salt water is more dense than fresh water.
If you float in salt water what will you do in fresh water?
If you just barely float in salt water, you will sink in fresh water.
Is it easier to float in salt water or fresh water?
It is definitely easier yo float in salt water.
Does salt float in water?
Yes . Egg float in salt water because salt water is much densier than pure water
