It's weight.

The general rule is that an object will sink if it has a density greater than the liquid in which it is placed.

Will a large or small rock sink to the bottom of a pond first?

A large rock will generally sink to the bottom of a pond faster than a small rock due to its greater mass and density, which allow it to displace water more effectively. However, if the small rock is significantly denser than water, it may also sink quickly. Factors such as shape, surface area, and water resistance can also influence the sinking rate. Ultimately, in still water, the larger rock typically reaches the bottom first.
