Why Does Ice Float on Water????


Why does ice float on water?

Your Friend…. Mr. Ice


Hello friends, today I am here to tell you the most magical answer to the question
“Why does ice ‘zzz’ float on water?
It is very cold when we hear ice, right?
How many of you have a fridge at home?
Did you open the freezer? What do you see?
Right, cold…..very cold…..ice
Now you take an ice cube and put it in water. What do you see? Ice is on water! Magic !!!! Right!
It is like water saying to ice, “Friend, this is my room, don’t come inside. Just stand at the door!”
Yes, it is magic, and it is called density!
You play together, right? When you win a cricket match and you have a small player or small boy who is lighter than you…..you all pick him up and throw him in the air …… right!
Why? Because he is very light, his density is very low!
Because he is not heavy!
Same here. The ice that is smiling at you is lighter than the water on which it is standing. That is why he stands or sits on water.
So, from now on, whenever you see an ice floating on water, you should tell, “Look at the ice, he is the VIP of water, he does not sink, he chills on top!” 🕶️😎
So, when you write the answer, you write!
“As the density of ice is less than the density of water, that is why it floats on water.” See how easy and simple it is. So, science is both easy and very funny. Just see them as your friend and win matches or exams!
“So next time you drink juice with ice, remember — that cube is the VIP guest of your glass!” 🍹😄
