Believe it or not, ice is actually about 9% less dense than water. Since the water is heavier, it displaces the lighter ice, causing the ice to float to the top.When a liquid is cooled, more molecules are brought closer together and need to be accommodated in a smaller area

Answer 2

Ice floats because it is 9% less dense than water. In other words, ice takes 9% more space than water, so one litre of ice is less than one litre of water.
