Objects that float in air are typically those that are less dense than the air around them, such as helium balloons or lightweight objects like feathers. These objects are able to displace enough air to generate an upward force greater than the force of gravity acting on them, allowing them to float.
Objects that are denser than water will sink, such as rocks, metal objects, and certain types of wood. Objects that are less dense than water will float, such as plastic bottles, rubber ducks, and foam.
Objects on Earth do not float because of gravity. The force of gravity pulls objects toward the center of the Earth, causing them to sink. Objects will only float if the force of buoyancy pushing them upward is greater than the force of gravity pulling them downward.
Yes, an object's shape can affect its ability to float. Objects with larger surface areas relative to their volume, like flat objects or objects with concave shapes, are more likely to float because they displace more water. Objects with irregular shapes or holes are less likely to float because they displace less water due to their shape.
Not necessarily. Objects sink or float based on their density relative to the density of the fluid they are placed in. In general, dense objects tend to sink while less dense objects tend to float, but shape, size, and other factors can also play a role.

What keeps your feet on the ground and doesn't let objects float around!
An object will float when it is less dense than the liquid around it. Because saltwater is denser than freshwater, it is easier for an object to float.

Objects that are denser than water will sink, such as rocks, metal objects, and certain types of wood. Objects that are less dense than water will float, such as plastic bottles, rubber ducks, and foam.
Objects that are less dense than the environment in which they are immersed will float, unless they are tethered.
Objects that float in water have a lower density than water. -anonymous18_K
Objects that are less dense than the environment in which they are immersed will float, unless they are tethered.
Because some objects are a lot denser than water so the sink and others are less denser so they float
objects that are less dense float to the top.
The types of objects that will float on water are foil, most rubber, and some plastic.
