Oranges float because with their peel on, their density is less than 1. The density of water is 1, and anything with a density less than 1 will float. However, if the peel is removed, the density will be more than 1, and the orange will sink. The formula for finding density is: Mass ÷ Volume=Density
What else can I help you with?
Why do peeled oranges sink but unpeeled oranges don't sink?
I'm not sure I've ever tried this experiment, but taking the given data at face value: I'd assume it's because the density of the peel is very low, enough to offset the slightly-greater-than-water average density of the inside of the orange.
Why does an unpealed orange float?
An unpeeled orange floats because it has air pockets within its peel, which increases its overall buoyancy. The air trapped within the peel reduces the density of the orange, causing it to float in water.
An unpeeled orange floats in water but a peeled orange sinks why?
The peel of an orange is composed of a layer of air-filled cells that provide buoyancy, causing the unpeeled orange to float. When the orange is peeled, the air-filled cells are removed, making the orange denser and causing it to sink in water.
Can oranges float in water?
Yes.
What can you concude about the density of an unpeeled orange?
You can conclude that the density of an unpeeled orange would be higher than that of water since it sinks in water. This suggests that the orange is denser than water, which is why it displaces water and sinks.
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 fruit will float the best apples or oranges?
they will both be the same they are both of the same boyancy
Will orange float on water?
Yes, oranges will typically float on water due to their relatively low density compared to water. The peel of an orange contains air pockets, which help it float.
What fruits float?
Several different fruits can float. Examples include coconuts, apples, bananas, oranges and watermelon. Fruits such as grapes and blueberries do not float.

Will a hot air balloon float better on a summer day or winter day?
it will float better in winter
Does the 750 brute force float?
yes but if you need it to float you better have it snorkeled
