Density is not affected by gravity. Density is affected by mass and volume, such that density = mass/volume. Weight, but not mass, is affected by gravity. Weight and mass are not the same thing.

Does gravity depend on density?
Gravity does not depend on density. Gravity is the gravitational pull that is invisible and cannot be touched or changed. Density is how much matter is packed within an object, which can be changed. Gravity and density are two totally different things, and are in no way related, therefore gravity does not depend on density.
What is the ratio of an object's density to the density of water is called the object's?
specific gravity
Does an object's ability to float depend on its density?
Yes, it does depend on the object's density; it depends on the liquid's density, too. An object with a lower density than the liquid it is in will float, while an object with a heavier density than the liquid will sink.
What is the number that compares an object's density to the density of water called?
That is the specific gravity of the substance.
What determines wether an object will float in water?
An object will float in water if the object's density is less than the density of water. Relative density is the ratio of one object density with respect to the density of another object. Relative density of any object with respect to water is also known as specific gravity. Objects with a specific gravity less than one will float those with a specific gravity greater than one will not.
Specific is the ratio of an object's density to that of water?
Specific Gravity.
What is the ratio of and object's density to the density of water?
That is called specific gravity
What does an object's wight depend upon?
gravity
Why does the density of an object stay the same for different amounts of the object?
Because the density of an object does not depend on the amount in an object but the hardness or softness of that object
What detirmines the weight of an object?
The weight of an object is determined by volume, density, and gravity.
In 0 gravity the mass of an object comes to be not defines than how can the mass of an object come constant everywhere?
Mass does not depend on gravity. At zero gravity the object will have the same mass as at a higher gravity. What changes is the object's weight. The fact that the object still has mass can be ascertained from its inertia - it will take a force to make it move, or to stop it.Mass does not depend on gravity.

What is the gravity of copper?
The gravitational forces associated with an object depend on the object's mass, but they don't depend at all on the substance the object is made of.
