No actually your size has nothing to do with it.
Yes, "overweight" people are more buoyant than skinnier people.
they have a lot of flab brah
b/c fat floats. it makes it harder to float if there no fat. And it requires skill
People with air in their lungs naturally float in water. Orientation is not a factor. Due to the difference in density between muscle, bones and fat. As a result muscular, tall, thin, people will float lower in the water than small, obese, sedintary people
This is easy. Muscle does not float. If the person has body fat the person will float, the more fat the better the person floats. The less fat, the less a person floats.
It can float depending on its fat content
the higher a persons fat content, the better the person will float. Fat floats on top of water and doesnt sink.
Fat is less dense than water, while muscle and bone are more dense. A person with a higher fat percentage will displace his weight with less of his volume submerged, so he will float higher.
Fat is lighter than water, thus fat floats.
Your body fat has a lot to do with how well you will float but basically people can and do float. I personally don't float very well but with air in my lungs and on my back I float easily. Basically, it's because we are more dense than water. By breathing in air, our density becomes less than that of water and we begin to float. This is how people can stay afloat and how people can drown.
no fat people float ( or i wouldn't be answering) it may play a factor though
with fat ladies
No, actually you sink.
