Salt water is denser than fresh water, giving a higher net buoyancy force upward from the bottom of the whale, allowing it to float better.

This applies to anything; the more dense the medium, the easier it is to float on it.

An egg will float better in salt water. The density of salt water is greater than regular water hence better floating by the egg.


Does toys float better on fresh water or on salt water?

No. Toys float better on salt water than on fresh water because salt water has higher density, and the ratio of density controls buoyancy.

Does eggs float better on salt water or fresh water?

Eggs will float better in saltwater because the salt makes the water denser, causing the egg to float more easily. In freshwater, the egg may sink or not float as readily due to the lower density of the water.


Is it easier to swim in saltwater?

When salt is dissolved in water, as it is in ocean water, that dissolved salt adds to the mass of the water and makes the water denser than it would be without salt.Because objects float better on a dense surface, they float better on salt water than fresh water. The denser the salt water, the easier it is for objects to float on top of it.
