because of its density
Clouds are not just liquid water floating in the sky. They are actually made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals that have condensed around tiny particles in the atmosphere.
Ice is a solid and water is a liquid, so an ice cube floating in a glass of water would be a solid in a liquid solution. Lava is molten rock, which would also be a solid in liquid solution.

Technically if there's a liquid that's heavier than water and is clear, it could give water the appearance of floating.
The best way would be to change the state of the water. In other words, have ice floating in liquid water, while steam is above that.
The weight of the water (or other liquid, or gas) displaced is equal to the force with which the water will push the object upwards.
The ice in your drink is not floating because ice is less dense than liquid water. When ice is placed in a drink, it displaces an equal volume of liquid, causing it to sink to the bottom rather than float on top.
Usually the density of floating object will be less than that of the liquid in which it is floating. But exception is that ship made up of iron will float in less dense water. Becasue a large amount of water will be displaced due to the specific construction of the ship. The weight of the displaced water will be more than the floating ship.
water is liquid while the land is solid
Ice floats because it is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, it forms a crystalline structure that spaces the water molecules further apart than in its liquid state. This lower density causes ice to float on top of liquid water.
An iceberg floating in the ocean is affected by the water pressure and buoyant force on the basis of the Archimedes' principle. This dictates that a volume of a liquid must supported by the pressure of a surrounding liquid.Ê
Water is a compound, H2O. Liquid water, and Ice, as well as steam are 3 different states of the same compound, H2O. Although different states or the same compound, there is nothing remarkable about ice in water.
