Yes, hover can mean to float or remain suspended in the air without moving in any direction. It can also refer to staying in one place while moving slightly up and down or side to side without touching the ground.
A magnet can float over a solid that is non-magnetic or weakly magnetic, such as wood, plastic, or glass. This is because these materials do not interfere significantly with the magnetic field produced by the magnet, allowing it to hover or float above them.
Witches in popular culture are often depicted as being able to float on broomsticks, but in reality, they would most likely sink if they entered the water due to human body density.
Upthrust can be used in designing flotation devices, such as life jackets and boats, to keep them afloat on water. It is also utilized in hot air balloons to provide lift and enable them to float in the air. Understanding upthrust is crucial in engineering and designing objects that need to float or hover.
Eggs float when they are older because air enters the eggshell as it ages, creating a larger air cell inside. This means the egg is less fresh.
Scuba divers can hover at depths with proper buoyancy control. This is achieved when the diver wears the appropriate amount of lead weight to make them sink and has an equalized amount of air inside the buoyancy control device (BCD) to balance the sinking effect with air pressure in the bladder of the BCD & the divers lungs. When proper buoyance is achieved the diver can hover at depth and seem weightless while only moving slightly up or down in the water due to the controlled amount of air within their lungs all while still breathing appropriately at the given depth.
"Hover" means to hang fluttering in the air on on the wing, to remain suspended over a place or object, to move to and fro near a place, or to be in a state of uncertainty, irresolution, or suspense (as a hen hovers about her chicks - brooding over).
Levitate.
Hover or otherwise float. Basically repelling from gravity. Examples: Levitate, Levicorpus (Harry Potter)
You go to the windmill and turn the propeller counter clock-wise. Then the glass dome will open. Go into it. Then you will see the hover board. Put the manure into the hover board. Then it will float over the mud. With the hover board, fly out to the ship.
drifting. swimming. or, vagabond. vagrant.

A hummingbird can hover in one place and fly in any direction.

In "Twilight", most vampires don’t literally "hover" — they move swiftly and gracefully, but they don't levitate or float in the air. The Cullen family, for example, runs and jumps with superhuman agility but stays grounded.
