Because the marble has a lesser density than water. And also because of the marbles shape and size. :)
No because aircraft carriers are so huge and it can handle lots of punishments. Aircraft carriers are incredibly strong. If you fire one missile at it, it still could float and move even up to twelve missiles and the aircraft carrier will take damages and still can move. If you fire several missiles or more, the whole aircraft carrier will sink.
u See i don’t know but I’m guessing not
There is no maximum theoretically. As long as the weight of the water being displaced is greater than the weight of the ship itself, it will float. That's why a 1 pound steel ball sinks, but a 90,000 ton aircraft carrier made out of the same material floats.
One way to make a marble float is by using a density experiment. You can dissolve different amounts of salt in water to create solutions with varying densities. If you carefully drop the marble into the solution with a density close to that of the marble, it should float.

No, a marble will sink in water because it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in water.
It should, it's air tight. An Aircraft carrier floats and it's hugh. Any rocket scientists out there?
Draught of vessel + clearance from bottom required + fall of tide (fall = depth of current tide minus depth of next low water)
u guys should know how to define a question if someone is to ask u a question answer it or do not call Ur website answers.com when u know u cant answer half the questions we ask. So if u want to have a website like this get Ur facts right and know the question when they are asked.
From Wikipedia: "If the object has exactly the same density as the liquid, then its buoyancy equals its weight. It will tend neither to sink nor float. An object with a higher average density than the fluid has less buoyancy than weight and it will sink. A ship floats because although it is made of steel which is more dense than water, it encloses a volume of air and the resulting shape has an average density less than that of the water."
A steel marble will sink because it's solid steel and heavier than water all the way through. A steel ship is hollow and the inside is full of air. Just the shell is heavier than water but, on the whole with the air inside, the ship is lighter than the water so it floats. Experiment: Take an old, empty can (with no lid on it) from the kitchen and submerge it water. It will stay submerged. The can itself is heavier than water. Now fish the can out and empty the water out of it, and put a small weight (maybe a small piece of stone or something) to hold the can upright in the water. The can will now float!
it is hollow so it will float
