Do small things float?
Whether small things float or not depends on their density. If the density of an object is less than the density of the fluid it is placed in (such as water), then it will float. However, if the density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid, it will sink.
What can float or not float?
Objects that are less dense than the liquid they are placed in will float, while objects that are denser will sink. Some examples of things that float are wood, plastic, and foam, while examples of things that sink are metals, rocks, and most plastics. The shape and volume of an object also play a role in determining if it will float.
Why do things float in the air?
Things float in the air when the force of buoyancy (upward force exerted by air or a fluid) is greater than the force of gravity (downward force pulling objects toward the earth). This is known as buoyancy and is what allows objects to float or stay suspended in a fluid or gas like air.
Why do you float in a vacuum Were is gravity?
Whether or not you float has nothing to do with vacuum. You float because you are too far away from the earth (or other massive objects) for their gravity to have any noticeable effect on you. It just so happens that this occurs in space where natural vacuum may be found.

What is a liquid that makes things float?

How do you make things float?
You can't make things float, things float by it's self's it's density is lower than 1 it can float, if it's density is greater than 1 it can't float.
Does sea salt make things float?

What is the term for the scientific explanation of how things float?
The term for the scientific explanation of how things float is "buoyancy."
Can a hydrogen filled balloon float in vacuum?
no it will not. because a balloon filled with hydrogen floats only because it is lighter than air so when there is a vacuum it will not float. it is like oil and water if there is no water oil is on the bottom if there is water it is on the top.
