  • Substances Less Dense Than Water: Oil, Wood & Air Explained
    Here are three substances that have a lower density than water:

    1. Oil: Oil floats on water because it is less dense. This is why oil spills spread out on the surface of the ocean.

    2. Wood: Many types of wood, like pine and balsa wood, float on water because they are less dense.

    3. Air: Air is much less dense than water, which is why we can breathe and why hot air balloons can float.
