It depends on what has been done to the orange. An orange that still retains its rind will float due to having a lower density than water. Without the rind, it has a higher density that causes it to sink.

∙ 12y agoYes...this is because the skin of an orange contains many tiny airbags. The airbags act like bubble wrap and keep the orange floating. However, after the orange has been peeled, there are no airbags. Therefore, the orange sinks.

An unpeeled orange floats in water but a peeled orange sinks why?
The density of water is 1. With their peel on, the orange's density is less than 1. However, without the peel, the orange's density is greater than 1. Density > 1 (Float) Density < 1 (Sink) Mass ÷ Volume = Density Mass ÷ Density = Volume Density × Volume = Mass
A solid that floats on water but sinks in methylated spirits?
Ice.
How does the density of each material relate to how high it floats in the water?
if its heavier than water it sinks. lighter floats
What effect does buoyancy have on items?
the effect that buoyancy has on items is floating, if the particular item floats it is positively buoyant, if it sinks it is negatively buoyant, if it neither floats or sinks it is neutrally buoyant. hope this helps!!
What is a measure of whether an object floats or sinks in a gas or liquid?

When an unpeeled orange floats in water it is?
normal. The peel is naturally bouyant and floats the orange.

Which one has more density the one that floats or sinks?
sinks
What floats a peeled orange or a unpeeled orange?
The orange sinks when it is peeled. The skin contains airbags that help it remain afloat. When the skin is peeled the air bags no longer remain there and the orange will sink.

Which object weighs more a can that floats or a can that sinks?
It is impossible to tell; whether an object floats or sinks depends on its density, not on its weight.
