Butter floats in water because it is less dense than water. The density of butter is lower than that of water, so when butter is placed in water, it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, causing it to float.

What else can I help you with?

How is butter evaporated?

Butter really doesn't evaporate. You can melt it, and the fat solids float to the top and the water and the rest sinks to the bottom. When you skim the fat off the butter what you are left with is clarified butter. It is used in place of regular butter and mostly served in restaurants for seafood. I guess in theory you could heat it until it reduces, but, I don't think there would be any use for the leftovers.
