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.

What does gravity spicific mean?
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.
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
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.
Does water affect density of wood?
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
How much density does water have?
Pure water has a density of 1,000 kg/m3
Which has greater density ice or water how can you say that?
Water has a greater density than ice.
What is mean density on Saturn?
The density of Saturn is less than the density of water, about 70% of water's density in fact.
Which has greater density water or cooking?
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.
What does mean that plasticine has higher density value that water?
means that plasticine has higher density.

What factors can effect the density of water?
I assume you mean "affect". Water density can be affected by impurities. Assuming the water is pure, it can be affected by temperature, pressure, and isotopic composition.
What does speciffic gravity mean?
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.
What hs a density of 1.0?
I assume you mean 1.0 grams/milliliter. Pure water has a density of 1.0 g/ml.
How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water.

What does 0.907 gravity mean?
It means a density that is 0.907 times that of pure water.
Comparing the density of a liquid to the density of water is?
This is the determination of the specific density (the ratio liquid density/water density).
How does Saturn float in water if its so heavy?
Yes, Saturn's mean density is only 70% of that of water.
