Salinity is a measure of thew salt content in a solution and is expressed in parts per thousand (ppt)
Salinity is the amount of salt in water, expressed as parts per 1,000.

parts per thousand
Yes, salinity is a physical property. It is a measure of the concentration of dissolved salts in a body of water, typically expressed in parts per thousand (ppt) or as a percentage. Salinity affects the density and freezing point of water.
The measure of the total amount of solid material dissolved in seawater is called salinity. It is typically expressed in parts per thousand (ppt) or practical salinity units (PSU).
It is expressed as 'permille' or parts per thousand
Because the proportion of dissolved substances in seawater is such a small number, oceanographers typically express salinity in parts per thousand.
Salinity is defined as the total amount of solid material in grams contained in 1km of sea water and is expressed as part per thousand. Salinity affects physical property of ocean such as temperature, pressure, density, waves and currents.
One way to remember salinity is to think of "salt content in water." Salinity is a measure of the total amount of dissolved salts in seawater, typically expressed in parts per thousand (ppt). It is an important factor in oceanography and affects the density of water.
Density
Density depends on salinity to tell how dense something is so if you had a cup of salty water and a cup of not salty water, then the salty water would be denser than the cup of not salty water.
The word you are looking for is "salinity." Salinity is a measure of the concentration of dissolved salts in a body of water or soil. It is typically expressed in parts per thousand (ppt) or as a percentage. High salinity levels can have significant impacts on the environment and organisms living in the water.
