As atoms in water cool, they align to form a crystal (ice). This causes the space between molecules to increase, so the water expands. You get less molecules in a cubic inch of ice than you do in a cubic inch of water, so you get less weight. Ice is about 9/10ths as dense as water, so a gallon of ice weighs about 10% less than a gallon of water -- about 7.2 lbs. v. 8 lbs.

Why do you weigh less when the moon is directly over your heads?
No - you do not weigh less.
Does a human weigh less in water?
No, just because a human is in water, doesn't mean they will weigh less. Humans would weight the same if they were in pudding, so humans do not weigh less in water.
How much does link weigh?
enough to break the ice
How much density does a ice cube weigh?
1.5
Why does water weigh less when frozen?
Water expands slightly when if freezes (due to hydrogen bonding) and the resulting ice is less dense than water.(Actually, the water still weighs the same- it just takes up more space when frozen)
Which weigh more water or ice?
It depends how much water and how much ice you hae. if you have 1 ice cube and 6 cups of water, the water will weigh more. But, if you have 10 ice cubes and 1/4 cup of water the ice will weigh more.
Is 1 liter of Ice cream equal to 1 kilogram?
Nope. Depending on the fluid, the weight of an object changes. Depending on the temperature of the ice cream, it could weigh more or less. A liter measures volume and a kilogram measures weight, and are not to be confused with one another. For example, 1L of water at 4 degrees centigrade will weigh 1kg, but once it is at 3 or 5, it will weigh more or less. So, there is no set answer for how much the 1L of ice cream will weigh, but as far as I am concerned, 1L of ice cream doesn't weigh 1kg
Is American gal of water heavier than a American gal of ice?
Yes. Ice expands when it freezes. So equal volumes would weigh different amounts, with the ice weighing less.
How many pounds did ice man weigh when he was found?
Otzi the Iceman , less tools and clothing , weighed 110 pounds .
How much less does ice weigh than water?
8.83% for clear ice. For ice with air inclusions the ice will weigh less.The density of clear ice is 0.917 grams per cubic centimeter.*NOTE: water reaches it maximum density at 4 degrees Celsius. And it's lowest density at 100 degrees Celsius. But it is generally regarded as being 1 gram per cc.
Why do you weigh less when the moon is directly over your heads?
No - you do not weigh less.
Do you weigh more or less on Venus?
9.7% less than you weigh on Earth, 138% more than you weigh on Mars.
Where on earth do you weigh more and weigh less?
near the poles you weigh more
If you weigh less on the moon do you have less mass?
No, you have the same mass. The reason why you weigh less is because the moon has a less gravitational pull on you since it has less mass than the earth.
How much does 1 cubic foot of crushed ice weigh?
It depends how small it is crushed and how tightly it's packed. The smaller it's crushed and more tightly it's packed, the heavier it is as there is more ice and less space between the pieces of ice. In the most finely crushed and firmly packed volumes of the frozen stuff, the cubic foot of crushed ice will approach being a solid block. A cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds. A solid block of ice of the same volume weighs about 57.5 pounds. A cubic foot of "normal" crushed ice might weigh 35 to 45 pound range. And it could weigh more or less.
