No, it's the air volume on each item. For example, a balloon filled with air will surely float on the water, but a ballon filled with water will not float. That's because there is no air in the second one and that makes it even heavier.

Is mass what makes things float or sink in water?
no!!
What force is pushing up?
Bouyancy... its what makes things float in water.
Why do some things float and som things sinks?
Because of density difference. High density causes the body to sink and low density makes the things to float on the surface.
How does the salinity of the water affect an objects ability to float?
Salt water has salt (!) in it, ego it is denser and takes more weight to displace it; the reason things float in whatever. The denser the liquid, the higher things float
What force makes things fall downwards?
The force that makes things pull downwards is called "gravity". That's why we don't float when we jump.
What are the release dates for What Makes Things Float - 1951?

What is a liquid that makes things float?
It is quite common for various things to float in water. But any liquid can cause things to float.
Why does the candle float in water when you screw it?
because the weight of gravity on the bottom of the candle makes its self float
Why there is no life in dead sea n why things n living things float on its surface?
Because it is full of dissolved salt which makes the density of things lighter, and therefore makes them float.
Is mass what makes things float or sink in water?
no!!
What makes things float?
Because there is less density.
How does density effect things float?
well when the salt dissolves into the water it makes water considerably denser and there for the water can hold more weight by:Matthew Shouse
What is the name of the force that makes things that are heavy float?
a dingaling
What chemical makes things float?

What makes a helium balloon float?
helium is a light mass of weight in which will float unlike a hevy object that will fall to the ground
What makes it easy to float?
Salt Water, because it is makes things more buoyant.
What are the reason why some things float in the water?
Certain things float in water because their density is less than the density of water. If something experiences more upthrust in water than its weight(upthrust>weight) or upthrust=weight, then it floats in water.
