things float because they are less denser then the water. second things do not float, the molecules from the water support the molecules from the thing on the water. that is how something heavy can float. it just has to be boyent meaning it is spread out enough so there is more water molecules to hold it up. if you mean in the air it is the same concept.

What strange things float?
Porcupines.
The upward force of a liquid or air on an object that helps it float?
The force that makes things float is called buoyancy.
Controlled variable of the egg flotation?
it is when a egg float on the matter of something making it float.
What does the statement 'the buoyant force of a liquid does not depend on physical statebut on density' mean?
Floating, or buoyancy, depends on the density of the liquid and the density of the object. Water is a pretty dense liquid, and things float in it; they are buoyant. Oil or gasoline are less dense; things that float in water may not float in oil.
What things will float in salt water and not in fresh water?
An egg is one such thing.
