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.

Answer:

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.

Explanation:

Water is also a liquid, so it should also have less density than that of a solid that is ice. ... Hence, the density of ice is less than that of water. A substance with a lower density than water can float on water. Therefore, ice floats on water.
