The density of anything is the ratio of the weight (really the mass) to the volume that the material occupies. Water was involved in the original definition of units of mass and volume, so it has a rather special value of density. To a good approximation, the density of water is 1 gram per milliliter.
Perhaps you mean "specific gravity". That refers to an object's density, compared to the density of a reference subtance (usually water). For example, if iron has 8 times the density of water, then its specific gravity is said to be 8.
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
yes water can increase the density of water as wood has the power to absorb water and so the density of water is drastically increased
Pure water has a density of 1,000 kg/m3
Water has a greater density than ice.
Relative density is a measure of the density of a substance compared to the density of another substance, usually water. It is calculated by dividing the density of the substance by the density of water. Relative density can help determine if a substance will sink or float in water based on its comparison to water's density.
I can only assume that you mean which has the grater desity water or boiling water. The colder the water the more density it will have.
If a block of wood floats in water, it means that the density of the wood is less than the density of water. This is because objects with a lower density than water will float, while objects with a higher density will sink.
means that plasticine has higher density.
The mean density of Saturn is about 0.687 grams per cubic centimeter. This low density is due to the planet's composition primarily of hydrogen and helium gases, with a small rocky core at its center.

Specific gravity is defined as the density of a substance, compared to the density of water. This is roughly equivalent to the density, expressed in kilograms/liter.
I assume you mean 1.0 grams/milliliter. Pure water has a density of 1.0 g/ml.
If the density of a substance is greater than the density of water, it will sink in water. If the density of a substance is less than the density of water, it will float on water.
Factors that can affect the density of water include temperature, pressure, and the presence of impurities. As temperature decreases, water becomes denser until it reaches its maximum density at 4°C. Increasing pressure will also increase the density of water. Impurities, such as salt, can also alter the density of water by changing its composition.
Yes, Saturn's mean density is only 70% of that of water.
