Because it is aerated - that is, it has pockets of air in it.

What happens when there is less mass in a given volume air?

The air is less dense.


What makes something dense or not very dense?

Density is determined by the amount of mass in a given volume. Something is considered dense if it has a high mass for a given volume, while it is considered not very dense if it has a low mass for a given volume. Materials with tightly packed particles are usually dense, while materials with loosely arranged particles are less dense.


Does air with greater density contain more or less molecules than less dense air?

Yes, given the same volume of both.


If the volume of air is less then the less dense or more dense the air is?

its has more pressure


When an object is heavier does that mean it is more dense than other objects?

Not necessarily. The weight of an object is determined by its mass and the force of gravity acting on it, while density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. A heavier object can be less dense if it takes up more volume, or it can be more dense if it is compact and takes up less volume.


Does a solid get more dense if its volume increases?

No. It gets less dense


What is the difference in weight between ice and water?

The difference in weight between ice and water is that ice is less dense than water, so a given volume of ice weighs less than the same volume of water.


When would the displacement of water not be a good method for finding the volume?

It would not be good for finding the volume of an object that is less dense than water. Such an object would float and therefore would not displace its full volume worth of water.


The less mass in a given volume of air the what?

The less mass in a given volume of air, the lower the air density. This means the air is less dense, or lighter, in that volume compared to air with more mass. Air density affects various aspects of weather and climate, such as air pressure and the formation of clouds and precipitation.


Why density of wax is less than water?

The density of wax is less than water because wax is less dense than water. In other words, the mass of wax for a given volume is less than the mass of water for the same volume. This is why wax tends to float on water.


If the mass of a fixed volume of air increases does the density become more or less dense?

If the mass of a fixed volume of air increases, the density of the air becomes more dense. Density is defined as mass divided by volume, so as the mass increases while the volume remains constant, the density increases.


If the mass of a fixed volume of air increasesit becomes less dense?

No, it does not.
