Why Does Ice Float on Water?

为什么冰能浮在水面上?

  1. Most solids sink when placed in their own liquid.
  2. But ice is different—it floats on liquid water.
  3. When water freezes, its molecules form open hexagon shapes.
  4. This makes ice less dense than cold water.
  5. Less dense things rise above denser things.
  6. So ice stays on top of lakes and rivers.
  7. This keeps fish safe under the ice in winter.
  8. It also helps Earth’s climate stay stable.
