whether DUST floats around, I suggest you read about Brownian motion. In a nutshell, it is well-established that particles suspended in a fluid (in this case, dust suspended in air) exhibit constant, random motion. Dust particles will eventually settle to the surface due to gravity, but any disturbance can kick them up again, and particles can remain suspended for very long times (the lighter the particle, the longer it can remain suspended).

Why does dust float?

Dust particles are very small and light, allowing them to be easily lifted by air currents. The irregular shape of dust particles also creates surface area for air to exert force, causing them to float in the air for extended periods of time.


What causes dust to stay in the air?

"Dust" is made up of tiny particulates that are produced by emissions in the air. The smallest parts don't sink immediately and float around as dust. They will, however, fall to the ground eventually.


Why does dust on the moon not float?

Dust on the moon does not float because there is no atmosphere on the moon to support floating particles. Without air resistance and buoyancy, the dust simply settles back down to the surface due to the moon's gravity.


Why do dust particles float in the air?

Dust particles are very small and light, so they are easily carried by air currents. Additionally, they may have irregular shapes that create turbulence, helping them to stay suspended in the air for longer periods.

Do objects float in air?

Most objects do not float in air, as air is a gas and has a low density compared to solids and liquids. Objects will fall towards the ground in air due to gravity unless they are light enough to be lifted by air currents, like balloons or feathers.
