Question

why solid ice floats on water?

Answer 1

Because the density of the ice is less than the water, as it contains a lot of gases

Answer 2

As it cools further and freezes into ice, it actually becomes less dense. ... Ice floats because it is about 9% less dense than liquid water. In other words, ice takes up about 9% more space than water, so a liter of iceweighs less than a liter water. The heavier water displaces the lighter ice, so ice floats to the top.
