When water freezes, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to float. This is because the molecular structure of ice forms a crystalline lattice that takes up more space than liquid water molecules. Therefore, frozen water (ice) is lighter than liquid water, which is why ice floats on water.
What else can I help you with?
If a gas dissolves in water does the water get heavier or lighter?
yes it gets heavyer until it starts to evaporate
What is heavier - a cup of water at room temperature or a cup of water frozen?
If you mean *exactly* one cup by volume, you have the iceberg scenario. The cup of frozen water will be less dense, so it will weigh less. If you just freeze a cup of water, don't spill any, and *don't* trim the excess to bring the volume back to exactly one cup, then it will weigh exactly what it did at room temp.
Why does snow melt as it lands closer to water?
It gets closer to water, and liquid water is warmer than ice and snow, frozen water.
What is frozen water stored as?
Frozen water is stored as ice.
What is the name of frozen water crystals?
The name of frozen water crystals is ice.
Is frozen salt water heavier than frozen water?
The density of saline water is greater than the density of pure water.
What happens to lipids when put in water?
It gets frozen
If a gas dissolves in water does the water get heavier or lighter?
yes it gets heavyer until it starts to evaporate
Is rubber lighter or heavier when frozen?
Rubber is generally heavier when frozen because as it freezes, it becomes more dense. The molecules in the rubber contract and move closer together, increasing its weight.
Why deos snow fall?
Because it is heavier then air after having codenced turned to water and frozen it had to fall.
What is heavier - a cup of water at room temperature or a cup of water frozen?

Why ice melts when heated?
Ice is frozen water, so when water gets cold, it freezes, and when ice gets warm, it goes back into its original form, water.
Why do rocks break after being frozen?
When water gets in a rock the water freezes and erodes and breaks the rock.
How much heavier is frozen water than just water?
The weight would stay the same so long as the volume of water regardless of state hasn't changed.
What does water do in the water cycle?
Gets evaporated into condensation. Water droplets get formed by the condensation & the more condensation gets added to the droplet, the heavier the droplet gets. When water droplets get heavy enough, they fall (this is called Precipitation). Water also gets evaporated from the trees (this is called Transpiration).
Why does snow melt as it lands closer to water?
It gets closer to water, and liquid water is warmer than ice and snow, frozen water.
Do frozen peas weigh more than unfrozen?
Yes, because the water that is frozen inside the pea is heavier and harder that a cooked pea, which has less water in it. If you just compare a package of uncooked and cooked peas, you'll feel the difference.
