Question

why is water's density higher than that of ice?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The "stuff" (molecules) in water is more tightly packed than in ice, so water has greater density than ice. ... As water freezes it expands. So, ice has more volume (it takes up more space, but has less density) than water.
