Why does ice float on the surface of water-?

Ice is a form of water that will float on the surface of the ocean.

Ice is lighter (less dense) than water. Which is why ice can float on the surface of water.

because you touch yourself at night

Ice is expanded water, so is less dense that the water it floats in. Being less dense, and so lighter, the ice will float on water with at least one third (approximately) above the surface

The reason why ice will float in water is because ice is not as dense as water, therefore, it floats.

yes, ice does float in water. it will eventually melt and change into water.

Ice cubes do float on water.

Ice float on water because the density is lower.

Because the volume of frozen water (Ice) is more than in the liquid form. therefore an ice cube replaces more water hence it floats on the surface of water.

when ice and petrol are in same container ,ice will float on the surface of petrol, because ice is a frozen form of water .As water floats on oil it can not mix in it.

They float, as ice is less dense than water.

It would float, but will gradually melt. You'll end up with a creamy foam on the surface of the water and below the surface the water wi turn the colour of the ice cream.

Ice is less dense than water, so ice will float.

Surface tension can allow a sewing needle to float on the surface water.

I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice

Ice is less dense than water and will float on water.

The float because of the surface area is spread out which causes the stick to float.

Ice float on ocean waters.

density of ice float is less than water and more than Ethanol.

Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.

The ice will float, partly above the surface of the water but mostly under it. As time goes on, the ice will become smaller. Eventually, the ice will completely disappear, and the temperature of the water will be lower than it was before the ice was put into it.

Water,thats why ice float on water.

Ice has a density of about 0.9 and water a density of 1.0 (by definition) Ice floats in water with about 10% of it's volume above the surface of the liquid. One example of ice cubes floating are icebergs

Because of the buoyancy of the Ice

ice is less dencity then water
