The density of Saturn is less than the density of water on Earth. But you'll
never see Saturn float, because that would require a really gigantic pool.

How do objects sink or float in water?
objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float
What is the density of an object and how does it relate to the ability of the object to float in a liquid?
The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a material; an object float when this density is lower that the density of the liquid.
Why do some item float higher on the water than other?
It depends on the density on the item. The density of water is 1.0 so if the density of the item is lower then that it will float, if the density is greater then that, then the item will sink.
What objects float and what objects don't?
Objects whose density is lower than the density of the fluid they're in float. Objects whose density is higher than the density of the fluid they're in don't.
Can a ship float on water due to having a lower density than the density of the water?
yes of corse
When water freezes what causes it to float?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
Why will a cork float in a swimming pool?
A cork has a low density. It is lower then water. That causes it to float.
What causes certain liquids to float above others?
the density of each of the fats. the higher density, the lower it will be in a mixture
What unusual fact about ice causes it to float in water?
Ice has a lower density than water.
What are objects that easily float?
Anything that has a density that is lower than water will float. The lower something's density is, the more buoyancy it will have.
If something has low density in it will it sink or float?
If something has a lower density than the substance it is in it will float.
How can you use density to see if an object can float?
Usually, an object can float if it has a lower density than the liquid it is in.
Why does a icebreg float?
water is the only substance on earth where its density is HIGHER when liquid, and LOWER when solid. a substance will float on top of another if its density is lower than the other substance. so because the ice has a LOWER density it will float on top of the water
Why do your pickled eggs float?
The density is lower than the density of water.
How do you float yard eggs?
An egg float on salted water because the density of the egg is lower the the density of this water.
Should a material have a higher or lower density to float in water?
A material needs a lower density than water to float in water. Ships float in water because their average density is lower than water. The average density includes the steel hull and the air inside the hull.
How can you use density to determine if an object will sink or float a fluid?
If the density of an object is lower than water then it will float, if the density is higher it will sink.
