Yes. This is a true story about why:
Back in ancient Greece there was this man named Archimedes, a Greek scientist, who was brought a problem by the King of Syracuse. The problem: The king wanted to know if his crown was made of pure gold or had other metals mixed into it. So, one day Archimedes was taking a bath when he noticed that when e placed his foot in the water, the water would rise up. This gave Archimedes an idea! He placed down two tubs of water. One he placed gold in, another he placed silver. The gold floated and the sliver sank. Next, he put the crown in the water and it sank. So, the crown WAS NOT made of pure gold, otherwise it would have floated.
So there you have it. Gold is lighter than silver.
