Is milk denser than water

Answer 1

Milk has a density of between 1027 and 1037 kg/m3, at 20 degrees Celsius, depending on the type of milk. Water has a density of about 1000 kg/m3, at 20 degrees Celsius. Therefore, milk is more dense than water.

However, heavy whipping cream is less dense than water, due to the added milk fat. Heavy whipping cream is about 994 kg/m3.

Answer 2

Milk. In fresh milk cream floats on top of the milk.

The cream doesn't rise as stated, the milk sinks. If water is added to gasoline or diesel the water sinks to the bottom, the fuels do not rise. Same with milk and cream, the lighter fluid will sink leaving the heavier fluid on top.

Answer 3

Water, since it is more dense than milk, since milk has a much higher fat content than milk. Fat tends to float to the top in a liquid that contains water, hence the reason that water is heavier than milk.
