Fruits like apples can float in water because they are less dense than water. The air pockets within the fruit allow it to displace enough water to keep it afloat. Additionally, their size and shape also contribute to their buoyancy.

Whether the weight of a fruit affects its ability to float?

It is not the weight of the fruit that affects it's ability to float.It is it's DENSITY that is the key. Soft pulpy fruit incorporating a lot of air inside will generally float since their density is below 1.00(1.00 being fresh water). Hard and densely packed nuts may well sink if their density rise above 1.00
