Mist is composed of very small droplets. The smaller an object is, the larger the ratio of surface area to volume. As a consequence, small objects become less influenced by gravity (mass relates to volume) and more influenced by air currents (which exert more force if there is more surface area).

Why does mist float when it should just sink to the ground like all other forms of liquid water?

Mist is made up of tiny water droplets suspended in the air, which makes it lighter than the surrounding air. This causes mist to stay afloat and appear as if it is floating. Additionally, the small size of the water droplets in mist allows them to be carried by air currents, helping them stay suspended for longer periods of time.
