What is density less than one?

Density has to have units e.g. g/cm3 tonnes/m3 lbs/cu ft.

Specific gravity (s.g.) is a way of avoiding the units problem. It expresses density relative to the density of water. Water has a s.g. of one.

An object with an s.g.<1 will float in water.

When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?

-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
