It's easier to float in salty water because the water is not dense compared to fresh water. No its not! The other way around! The salt water is MORE dense than that of fresh water, so you float easier: there are more particles in that given space. :)

Because salt water is denser....and rises to the upper so it is easy to float


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.


Why does an egg float in water and not it salty water?

A fresh egg don't float in pure water; in a salty water the floating depends on the concentration of the salt in solution. The salty water is more dense.

Salt water is denser that fresh water, so a swimmer (and ships) float higher in saltwater.


Why do you float in water with tons of salt?

I think substances can float in very salty water, because salty water (example the dead sea)is much more denser than other any other non-salty water, so things will float much more easier.

How does salty water help you float?

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
