Let's note some observations.
When water is boiled, the liquid water gains thermal energy, becomes steam, comes to the top as bubbles and burst to go into the atmosphere.
Similarly, when milk is boiled, the water turns to steam bubbles which move to the surface of the milk in the form of bubbles. But they cannot burst to the atmosphere easily because of the layer of fat on milk. The bubbles moving to the top continue to push the fat layer due to their kinetic energy. They cannot burst since they the pressure inside the bubble is less than that of the outside. When the fat layer surpasses the vessel walls, it results in the overflowing of milk.
If you boil the milk after once allowing it to boil over or removing the fat layer, the boiling will induce overflow with lesser intensity when compared to that with the the fat present. The lesser boiling over takes place because of the remaining fat in the milk.
Water does not boil over because it does not have any top layer which prevents the bursting of gas bubbles.

No. It will affect the distance the water rises, but not the volume of displacement.
What is a ton of steam?

Can milk float in water?
Although you might think milk fats would likely float on water, milk also contains other solids like proteins and sugars, which make it barely heavier than water. So usually no - at the same temperature and pressure, ordinary homogenized cow milk would sink in water. A gallon of milk is heavier than a gallon of water.
Does ice melt faster in water or milk?
water
Drink boiling water?
You can drink boiled water not boiling water if you like to drink boiled water you can add a coffee or milo and even milk :)
Why does milk in a saucepan overflow when heated over a gas stove?
Milk overflows when boiled for the first time because it contains entrapped air. The air expands on heating and tends to escape lifting the surface of milk. Once all the air is expelled, the boiling would be regular and smooth.
When the vapour of boiled milk is cooled does it become milk?
No, when milk boils, it is only the water which evaporates. The various substances dissolved and emulsified in the mixture stay behind. If you condense the vapour you will get water.
Is boiled milk acidic?
Milk is more acidic when boiled. The normal acidity (pH / Power of Hydrogen) of milk is usually 6.5 and 6.8, but when boiled, the pH can decrease to around 5.7!
What is meant by raw milk in Tamil?

Does pasta have milk in?

what is pH of boiled milk?
Skim milk is about 5.1 to 5.4.
Can pure water be extracted from skim milk?
Yes. The water may be boiled off or evaporated by heating in the usual manner, and then collected on glassware.
What is porradge made from?
I think you mean "Porridge" and it's made from oats or other grains boiled in a liquid such as milk or water.
Is boiled water distilled water?
No, boiled water is simply boiled. Distilled water is when the steam from the boiling is gathered and rebottled.
Which dissolves faster salt or water in boiled water?
Boiled water.
How much fats does cow milk contains after boiled?
Probably the same as before you boiled it. I think boiling doesn't alter the fat content of milk. Milk is about 3.9 grams of fat per 100 grams of milk
