Water bends or refracts light, not only do things look bigger they are not where they appear to be.
Objects appear larger underwater due to the refractive index of water. This causes light rays to bend as they pass through water, which makes objects look closer and larger than they actually are. Additionally, the distortion caused by the water can magnify the appearance of objects.
Objects will look larger when viewed through the side of a water-filled glass due to refraction. Light bends as it passes through the water and then again when it enters the air, causing the object to appear magnified.

Yes, refraction can make objects appear larger and closer when looking through a mask underwater. This is due to the bending of light as it passes from water to air, making objects appear closer than they actually are.
No.

When water droplets collide and merge to form larger objects, it is called coalescence. This process is common in cloud formation and precipitation.
Objects appear larger and closer underwater due to the refraction of light. Light waves bend when they pass from one medium (air) to another (water), causing the underwater object to look magnified and closer than it actually is.
No, an object with a larger density than water will sink in water. Objects float when they have a lower density than the liquid they are placed in.
You need a convex lens to magnify an image.
