Salt water is more buoyant than fresh water is, because salt water is slightly more dense. -- Anything that floats in salt water will float higher than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that sinks in salt water will sink slower than it does in fresh water. -- Anything that just barely floats in salt water may possibly sink in fresh water.


Why is it that ship floats deeper in fresh water than in the sea water?

A ship floats deeper in fresh water than in sea water because fresh water is less dense than sea water due to a lower concentration of salts and minerals. This lower density causes less buoyant force to be exerted on the ship, making it float deeper in fresh water in order to displace an equivalent volume of the less dense liquid.
