😳 WHY? ❓❓
*Why does ice float on water?*
Most substances become denser when they turn solid, but water is unusual. As water cools below 4°C and freezes, its molecules link up through hydrogen bonds into an open, hexagonal pattern that keeps them farther apart than in liquid water. So ice is about 9% less dense than water and floats, with roughly nine-tenths of an iceberg hidden below the surface. Because ice forms on top, it acts like a lid that keeps the water below from freezing, helping fish and other aquatic life survive the winter.
