Which holds more heat salt water or fresh water?
Salt water holds more heat than fresh water
Why do boats float better in salt water rather than fresh water?
Boats float better in salt water because salt water is denser than fresh water. The higher salinity of salt water increases the buoyant force that supports the boat, making it easier for the boat to float. In comparison, fresh water has a lower density, resulting in less buoyancy and potentially making it more difficult for boats to float.

Why a ship sinks more in fresh water than sea water?
A ship will sink more easily, when in fresh water instead of sea water, as the fresh water is less dense, due to a lack of salt in it. The density of any object affects how well it's able to float.
Which has more pressure fresh water or salt water?
Salt water
Why can't objects float on fresh water?
Any number of things will float in fresh water. Any boat that can be used in salt water will also stay afloat in fresh. However, fresh water has a lower specific gravity than salt water, and as a result, objects that displace a certain amount of sea water will displace more fresh water; they will sit lower in fresh water.
