It depends on the age of the egg. An older egg is likely to float as the air bubble in the egg hows larger as the egg dries out. This used to be a test for separating fresh from old eggs in general stores. Even a fresh egg (even though it doesn't float) will orient itself bubble end up in a pan of water.
An egg will float in water if it is old, as air enters the shell over time, increasing buoyancy. A fresh egg will sink in water due to its higher density. If the egg stands on one end at the bottom of the water glass, it is still safe to eat.
An egg will sink in water but will float in salt water. An egg will sink faster in hot water than it will in cold water.
A hard boiled egg will sink in water because it is denser than water. However, it will float in vinegar due to the lower density of vinegar compared to the egg.
Your egg is floating in water because it is less dense than the water. This means that the egg is lighter than the water, causing it to float instead of sink.
Eggs will float better in saltwater because the salt makes the water denser, causing the egg to float more easily. In freshwater, the egg may sink or not float as readily due to the lower density of the water.

An egg will sink in water but will float in salt water. An egg will sink faster in hot water than it will in cold water.
It doesn't float or sink in the water that means that the egg has the same density as the water.
A Rock would obviously sink in water and a egg would float in salt water Believe it or not bowling balls that are denser than water float!
The older an egg is the more likely it is to float. If it actually sits on the surface it may actually have gone bad.
It sinks because the water is more dense than the egg in the water.
Normaly if an egg floats it is bad and should be discarded. As the egg ages air pockets enter the egg, that's why they float. A change in buoyancy. If the egg is more dense then the water (or whatever liquid it is in), it will sink.
Salt water is denser than pure water.
An egg will float in salt water because the salt makes it denser and allows the egg to stay near the surface. But in regular water it will sink straight to the bottom.
An egg that sinks in water is fresh, while an egg that floats is not fresh.
If the egg is good and not spoiled it will sink down. If the egg is spoiled it will float up.
A hard boiled egg will sink in water because it is denser than water. However, it will float in vinegar due to the lower density of vinegar compared to the egg.
