Sure. That just means you're holding a large piece of it.
A king-size mattress has a small density.
So does the Goodyear blimp, even when the bag is full of air.
Or a hot-air balloon when it's empty and on the ground.
How about an iceberg. It's less dense than water, which is why it floats.

When an object is heavier does that mean the object is more dense than other objects?
when something is heavy does that mean it is really dense
WHY do heavier odjects sink on water?
An objects weight has nothing to do with sinking or floating (ships are very heavy).If an object is less dense than the equivalent volume of water, it will float.If an object is more dense than the equivalent volume of water, it will sink.If an object is exactly as dense as the equivalent volume of water (at its displacement depth), it will exist in perfect equilibrium, neither sinking nor floating.
What 2 factors determine how heavy an object can be and still float?
The density of the object and the density of the liquid. The object must be less dense than the liquid to float.
Why is a dense object heavy?
In a way that's what dense means. If something is dense then a small volume of it will have lots of mass. Something that has lots of mass will be subject to considerable gravitational force, which is weight.
What is more dense a cold object or a hot object?
A cold object is more dense.

What is dense in science?
heavy, has larger atoms.It means that when something is to heavy on another object it's dense
When an object floats does it means it is heavy or light?
No. It means its less dense than water.

What are the characteristics of the core of earth's interior?
The core is extremely dense, heavy and very hot.
What is more dense a cold object or a hot object?
A cold object is more dense.
Do heavy things always sink and light things always float?
It depends on the density of the liquid the object is immersed in and also the density of the object itself. If the liquid is more dense then the object, it will float.
What can density determine?
An object's density is the ratio of its mass to its volume. A very dense object has tightly packed, or compact, matter.
Is lead buoyant?
No, lead is not buoyant. It is incredibly dense, which makes it very heavy, and not able to float.
Is rosewood a hardwood?
Hard! Also, it's a very dense and quite heavy wood.
