The density of liquid water is nearly 1000 kg/m3. (1 gram/cubic centimeter)
The density of ice is 916.7 kg/m3 at 0 °C kg/m3.
Therefore ice floats in water.The SI unit for density is kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m3).
The density of fresh water is dependent on the temperature (and on any solutes):
At 3.98 degrees Celsius the density is 999.975 kilograms per cubic meter.
At 100 degrees Celsius the density is 958.35 kilograms per cubic meter.

What is the density of ice compared to that of water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water. This is why ice floats on liquid water.
Compared to water ice has a lower?
Density.
What happens to the density of water when it freezes?
it decreases, because ice has a lower density than water
What unusual fact about ice causes it to float in water?
Ice has a lower density than water.
What is unusual about the density of ice?
It is less than the density of water, so that it floats
Does density have an effect on ice?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water; ice float on water.
Why does ice have a higher density than water?
Ice doesn't have a higher density than water, that is why it floats on top of water.
Why density of ice is greater than water?
The density of ice is NOT greater than the density of water. When water freezes it expands, therefore the density decreases. This is easily observable because ice floats on water, therefore density of ice is less than the density of liquid water.
Which has greater density ice or water how can you say that?
Water has a greater density than ice.
How does the density of water compare to that of an ice cube?
The density of liquid water is greater than the density of an ice cube. This is why ice floats on top of liquid water.
How does the density of ice compare to the density of water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
How does the density of water (ice) compare with the density of water (liquid)?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
A piece of ice floats on water. what does this tell you about the density of ice compared to the density of water?
It tells you that the ice is less dense than the water.
Do ice and water have the same density?
no. Density of ice is more than of water...we can understand from ice sinking in water drinks... Edited by Dr.J. : How is it possible for the density of ice to be more (greater) than that of liquid water if ice FLOATS on lakes and rivers? Clearly, the density of ice is LESS than that of liquid water.
What is an example of a density?
ice floating on top of water because water has more density than ice.
How does the density of ice compare to the density of liquid water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water.
How is water density affected by freezing?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
