Whether things float or sink this depend only on the density , the density of the salt water is aprox. 1030 kilogram per meter cube so if you but things have density less than that they will float , things with higher density sink.

Can things only float in liquids such a water?

No, things can also float in gases like air or other fluids with different densities. The key factor is the buoyant force, which is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it, supporting the object's weight and allowing it to float.

How do objects sink or float?

Objects sink or float depending on their Mass and density. If the object has a Density LOWER than water, it will float. Higher than water will sink. You can find density by multiplying its Mass times its Volume, there you have its density. Water has a Density of 1, things with lower may sink, only slightly if there isn't much difference.
