a measure of the compactness of a substance, expressed as its mass per unit volume. It is measured in kilograms per cubic metre or pounds per cubic foot.

So, it means that ''more dense'' is the same as more compacted, and ''less dense'' is less compacted. As it is expressed per unit volume and measured in kilograms per cubic metre, signifies that an element that has more kilograms per cubic metre is more dense, more compact, resulting in more weight as well.

What is less dense mean in science?

In science, "less dense" means that a substance has a lower mass per unit of volume compared to another substance. This is commonly observed when an object or material floats in a more dense substance, such as when ice (less dense) floats on water (more dense).

Why do less dense compounds make up Earth's crust while the denest compounds make up the core?

Gravity ! The closer you are to the core - the higher the gravitational forces. High gravity attracts dense objects more than less dense ones.


Is gas inside a hot air balloon less dense than a penny?

Yes. By definition, most gases are less dense than most solids. i can't think of a counter example. Plus, the gas inside a hot air balloon is superheated to make it even less dense, as heating things makes them less dense

Does dense water sink or rise in comparison to less dense water?

Dense water sinks in comparison to less dense water.


Does more dense mean sink or float?

Typically, denser objects sink while less dense objects float. This is because denser objects have more mass per unit volume, causing them to displace less water than less dense objects, resulting in sinking.


Does sifting flour make the finished product denser?

Less dense. Sifting is usually done before measuring so there is less flour in the finished product. There are other factors that change the density of the product, but for the flour's part, sifting would make it less dense.


Would it be easier for a plane to fly higher in an atmosphere less dense than Earths?

i No, ;it would be easier in denser air. Less dense air gives nothing for the wings of the plane to use to propel itself upwards. Less dense air would make the plane crash.
