How does aluminum foil boat float?
An aluminum foil boat floats because it is more dense than water, therefore the surface tension of the water is able to hold the boat up.

What is the meaning of buoyant?
Buoyant - is something that 'floats' on the surface of whatever medium it is resting on. For example a boat on water is buoyant.
A ship is able to float on water due to having a lower density than the density of the water?
AnswerA ship is made of metal which is denser than water but its hull is filled with air with is extremely less dense than water that makes up for the density of the metal and ends up being less than water.AnswerA ship floats on water because the density of the ship (the comparison of how much matter is in it to how much space the ship takes up) is less than that of water, which is 1.Answerthe ship has volume so that the mass could speard out and fill the place so it is less dense than the water
What makes a bost float?
I assume you meant "BOAT"A boat floats because it displaces water... put a boat in the water and it sinks into the surface of the water...the part of the boat beneath water level pushes water out of the way.When the weight of the water pushed out of the way is the same as the weight of the boat, the boat can sink no further.Tho made of steel or other heavy materials, naval architects calculate displacement ( the weight of water the ship's hull pushes out of the way ) as long as the ship weighs Less than the water it displaces, it will safely float.The difference between the weight of the boat and the weight of water it displaces will determine how much Cargo a boat can carry.
When the boat is fully loaded it floats lower in the water than when it is empty?
As per Archimedes principle for floating the weight of the displaced water has to be equal to the weight of the boat. Hence for more water to get displaced the boat has to sink more.
Why the boat is able to float?

Where would you find a plimsoll line?
On the side of a large boat. It's positioned so that if it becomes under water then the boat is overloaded.
Why does water density affect boats floating?
The water density is higher than the boat's therefore it floats on the water.
What is the line on the side of a ship called?
The waterline is an imaginary line witch a ship or boat floats. The warmer or colder the water the less or more it floats. WIKI --- Waterline
