Yes, a lemon will float on water due to its low density. The air pockets in the lemon's skin allow it to displace enough water to float.

What are the densities between lemon and lime?

The densities between lemon and lime are quite different. When you put a lime in a bucket of water, it will sink while a lemon will easily float in the same water. A lime has a higher density than a lemon.

What do you think the lemon float on water?

I know why a lemon floats on water: the weight of a lemon is less than that of an equal volume of water. Let's throw some numbers out here, although they're ones I just made up to show you what's happening: 100 milliliters of water weighs 100 grams. The lemon you have has a total volume of 120 milliliters, but it weighs 100 grams. When you put the lemon in the water, it will displace 100 milliliters of water, gaining equilibrium. Since the lemon's volume is 120 milliliters, 20 milliliters of it are going to be out of the water. In other words, it will float. If the weight of the lemon was 100 grams and the lemon's volume was 100 milliliters, the whole lemon would be underwater since the displacement and the weight would be the same. And if the weight was 120 grams but the volume 100 milliliters, the lemon would sink since the water wouldn't be able to support the weight of the lemon.

What fruits float out of an apple an orange and a lemon?

An apple will float - that's why you can play bobbing for apples! Oranges will float if they still have their peel on, but if they don't then they sink. I've never tried it with a lemon though, so I'm not sure! Probably the same as oranges in my opinion! Lemons do float due to the peel. Without the peel, though they sink.


What are the results of can water float on water?

Yes, water can float on water. This is because of surface tension, which allows objects with a lower density than water to float on its surface. Items like boats or water bugs can float because of this phenomenon.
