Do gaseous planets have density?

Well, some planets, such as Mercury, have little density. For example, the amount of density in oil compared to water. That scenario is an example of the amount of density that you might expect on such planets as Venus.


Density of an object is less than density of water?

It is for some substances and not for other substances.


Why some planets have greater or less pull of gravity than earth?

gravitational pull depends on density and mass.


Why is Saturn the only planet that can float?

Saturn is a gas giant planet, with a less-dense core than some other planets. The planet's overall density, is less than the density of water. Hence the quite correct old saying in astronomy" "If you could find a lake big enough to put it in, Saturn would float".


Why do some objects float or sink in water?

It depends on the density of an object. If the density is higher than the density of the liquid, the it sink. If it's less, it floats.


What object has a less density than water?

Objects that have a lower density than water will float. Some examples include wood, plastic, and oil.


Why does some things float on water while others dont?

Some things float on water because they are less dense than water, creating buoyancy that allows them to stay afloat. Other things sink in water because they are denser than water, causing them to displace water and sink. Factors like shape, size, and weight can also affect whether something will float or sink in water.


Why it is important you take care of your planets water?

Because no more of it is being made. What we have now is all there is. If we ruin some of it, then we have less water.


Why do some objects sink and some objects float?

It depends on the density of a material. The density can be calculated using: density = mass/volume. This means that a very heavy object like a tanker can float on water because it has a large volume which makes its density less than that of water.


Which material can float?

Any material with a density less that the density of water will float in water. The density of water is 1 kilogram per litre, or 1 kilogram per 100 cubic millimetres. So any material that has a density so that a cube of it with 100 millimetre sides weighs less than one kilo will float in (fresh) water. The density of sea water is slightly more than the density of fresh water so some things that sink in fresh water will float in sea water. The density of steel is about 8 times the density of water so a solid cube of steel will sink in water, however some objects (like ships) made from steel float in water. This is because the average density of the part of the ship that sinks into the water becomes equal to the density of water because it is full of air.


How does the density of iol to the density of water?

You need to specify the oil, since there are many oils having different densities. Some oils are less dense than water, while some oils are more dense than water. Motor oil has a density of about 0.876 g/mL ; while water has a density of about 1.000 g/mL.


Why does some food float and some food not?

Whether an object floats or not depends on its density. Density is the amount of mass in a volume, or mass divided by volume. If and object's density is less than that of water, it will float in water, and if an objects density is higher than that of water, it will sink in water. raw material (fishballs will sink down);but it will floats when it is cook. why
