The density of ocean (sea) water is approximatley 1.025; the density of the human body is approximately 1.00; less dense objects float on top of or near the surface of denser liquids. The saltier the water or the more body fat you have (body mass index), the better you float. Cheers Malcolm

Why do eggs float on salty water but not on ordinary water?

Eggs float in salty water because the density of the salty water is higher than that of the egg, causing it to float. In ordinary water, the density of the egg is higher than that of the water, so it sinks. The increased density in the salty water creates more buoyant force, allowing the egg to float.
