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.

things float when their mass is less than that of the water, meaning they are less dense than the water. hollow objects always float because open air is less dense than water
