The habitable zone is that zone in which water is liquid. Without liquid water, life as we know it would not be possible.


What a liquid element with the highest specific gravity?

Mercury, it is Mercury which has highest specific gravity in liquids. Its SG is 13.56. It is the only known metal to exist in the liquid form. We however know that metals have high density. It means that mercury is 13.56 times denser than water.(as SG is with reference to water in liquids).


What do you need to know to make an egg float?

You need to know the laws of displacement and a few other items of physics. To make an egg float, you need to have a liquid that is denser than the egg. If your liquid is water, that gets easy. Add salt or sugar to it. See instructions for a fun trick in the related link below.


How many grams is 500 ml of shampoo?

Which has a greater density a metal or a liquid?

The question is deeply flawed. Many metals are denser than many liquids, but many liquids are denser than some metals (and then, of course, there's mercury, which is both a metal and a liquid at room temperature). If all you know about two substances is that one is a liquid and one is a metal and you're forced to bet your life on which is denser ... your odds are probably SLIGHTLY better betting on the metal.

How do you know the egg will sink and water will float?

Normaly if an egg floats it is bad and should be discarded. As the egg ages air pockets enter the egg, that's why they float. A change in buoyancy. If the egg is more dense then the water (or whatever liquid it is in), it will sink.
