When the skin is intact on an orange, it will allow it to float because the rind has is filled with tiny pockets of air an is porous. If the peel is taken off, the orange will sink because it become dense.
Why cork floats in water?
Any object placed in water will be pulled down into the liquid by gravity. But an object less dense than water will only be pulled down until the object displaces an amount of water equal to its own mass. Then it will float. The water will be pushing up equal to the force of gravity pulling down - an equilibrium. Any object that weighs less than its own volume of water will float. It's lower overall density will result in buoyancy.
Why does a lemon seed rise and fall in a glass of sparkling water and not in still water?
In sparkling (carbonated) water, tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide can cling to a lemon seed (or anything else in the water) and when they do so, they make the seed more buoyant. The bubbles can also float away from the seed, leaving it in a less buoyant state. As a result, the seed can rise and fall.
What do barnicles eat?

What tiny organisms live in the top layer of water?

What is the home of plankton in a coral reef?

Chalk is a kind of limestone made from the fossils of tiny animals and algae?
sedimentary rocks
Algae and other tiny organisms that live in water are classified as?
Algae and other tiny organisms that live in water are classified as plankton. Plankton are important members of aquatic ecosystems, serving as a food source for larger organisms and playing a role in nutrient cycling.
What adaptations does a water lettuce has to float on water?
