What does it mean when eggs float in the water and how can this be used to determine their freshness?

When eggs float in water, it means they are not fresh. This is because as eggs age, air enters the shell and the air pocket inside the egg grows larger, causing it to float. Fresh eggs sink to the bottom of the water. This simple test can help determine the freshness of eggs before consuming them.
