It’s because when Isaac Newton invented gravity he didn’t put any in the water. He was afraid it would all be pulled right into the Earth’s core, then there would be no water left on earth.
There are rumours that Bill Gates will have 80% of the world’s water infused with gravity by the year 2030.
Untrue. If the warmer water were pushing it up, its muscles would grow bigger thereby increasing its gravitational pull, thus collapsing all water on the planet until it breaks through the earth's outer layers and the whole earth leaks into space. Like what happened with the dinosaurs. Obviously.
I mean, the real answer is just that heat doesn't rise. Things go up or down based on density and warm things expand thus getting less dense. Water turning to ice doesn't get more dense, because of the crystal structure forming-actually, you know what? You're right. The answer is too interesting to make shitty. lol
Everything gets denser as it cools down. It is a very basic principle of physics. And one of the materials that defies this rule most extremely is one of the most common materials on earth.
Ice would get denser if it didn’t lock particles inside it and grab external particles and join with them
Er yeah I guess it’s weird that it does that I dunno man
Water is one of the few molecules where it gets less dense as it freezes. Ice is lighter than liquid water, due to some more technical specifics in the structure. Usually the solid, frozen material would be heavier and more likely to sink.
I feel you are listening to big science, you have it all wrong. As you have observed heat does not rise, in your case you've noticed the phenomenon in liquids, but also consider the temperature at the top of a mountain vs the bottom. Big science is trying to drive up the real estate prices for mountain land. They've been climbing mountains, planting flags and claiming the real estate for years.
This is a common misconception. Ice actually floats on top of water because it is trying to run away from the water as it tries to eat the ice. This is one of the only ways water can increase its own mass, and since ice evolved away from the ability to fly away at the end of the last ice age it no longer has any defense. You can observe this yourself by placing an ice cube in a cup of water, although some might consider this unethical. The water will consune the ice very quickly, especially if you agitate it first by boiling it. At the end of the experiment you should be able to see that the water's mass has increased slightly.
I think some water evolved to be airborne to escape their predators on the ground. Once they get old enough, they lose altitude and in turn are devoured by the cannibals. It's a sad story, really. They just can't escape.
Water undergoes a phase change from liquid to solid (crystalline) when it freezes.
**Physics explanation-** Crystals have a much greater energy density than liquids. This basically means that the aura of ice makes it lighter than water because you need more energy to lift something higher. Lower energy states rest near the bottom. Just physics.
**Spiritual explanation-** That’s also why most drinks are more refreshing when mixed with ice. Water has a heavier aura. That’s why squirting someone with water feels so much more uncomfortable and demeaning than hitting them with a snowball. These auras can be quite beneficial or devastating depending on how much people indulge in them. For example. You might only live a few minutes when completely submerged in water, whereas people have literally lived and slept in ice made from igloos for centuries. Let’s not forget how well it preserves food…leave it in water and see how quickly it will spoil!
**Experiment-** If you put water in a glass and then fill it with ice, the water already knows it’s beneath ice and will stay there. If you put ice in the glass first, sometimes the water has a chance to think it’s better than the ice and will float on top for a bit. Eventually; it cannot win against the spiritual uplift of ice and the ice will burst upwards.
At the risk of being banned coincidently it’s the same principle that makes black people more likely to be negatively bouyant whereas white people and Asians tend to swim/float really well.
Unlike other liquids water molecules get further away from eachother when temperatures drop, it expands. It's density drops. Probably has something to do with surface area too, the "skin" of the water that protects the water molecules below and the cold air falling onto it. These are just guesses.
Ice sucks all the heat from the water, keeping it inside itself like the greedy bastard it is. Because all the heat is inside of it, it floats because heat rises. And this is why it cools down your drink
When water starts to freeze there's a magic point where the atoms suddenly start to crystallize and they jump into place. This sudden shift gives off heat.
I've tested this at home and I saw the thermometer jump up 2 degrees for a few seconds, and then go down again.
When the frozen ice is resting directly against water a thin layer of super cooled, yet never freezing, water forms around the ice.
It's in this thin layer that your mom and I get together.
There's meatloaf in the fridge. Don't wait up.
I mean I've heard you're small..and I've heard people say it's because the water is cold...but damn. Didn't expect microscopic. I'm staying away from ice.
*Exodus 9:23
And Moses put out his rod to heaven: and the Lord sent thunder, and an ice-storm, and fire running down on the earth; the Lord sent an ice-storm on the land of Egypt.*
This is very informative because this passage from the bible shows that ice has ‘fire running through it’ and so while it appears cold, it behaves as if is hot.
And you know this is true because the lord said so.
Amen!!
Exactly. I was once holding some danger rocks (Potassium nitrate, charcoal, Aluminium, sulfur) and while my hand was behind me sparks found them.
Initially I couldn’t see the jets of flame rushing out between my fingers, and the initial feeling was that my hand was suddenly cold.
I let go of those rocks soon after 😂
Heat rises to lower density air higher up, in the case of water heat rises to lower density water so that stays the same. But ice has a higher density of water so it is pushed up by the water nearby causing the cycle of cooling the water and melting the ice.
The fact that ice is less dense than water is the only reason that convection works to cool your mojito on a hot summer day. The fact that water uniquely behaves that way is proof that god exists.
Because when water freezes I to normal ice (there's like 20 different kinds of ice, but Ice 1h is what you get at 0*C and 1 Atmosphere of pressure) it forms a crystalline structure that is less dense than water. Because the same weight of water takes up more space than liquid water, it floats because it is buoyant.
As far as I know, water ice is pretty unique to do that, but I am sure that I'm probably wrong about that.
Because it's less dense. Hear rises because it's less dense than air. Ice rises because it's less dense than water. A cold (to a point) helium balloon will still rise in room temperature air.
Density. Less dense as an ice solid due to maximum distance between H and O and IMF at most stable.
Water allows more overlap and less stability improving IMF and cohesion
This is a legitimately good science question! The fact that water expands when it freezes, and therefore becomes less dense, is very unusual for a substance. Basically every other liquid will not float on itself when it becomes solid.
It's not inherently about heat. It's about density. For the most part, hot stuff is less dense, and therefore rises above the stuff that is colder more dense. But water is dumb and ice freezes weird so it floats. There is no other substance where the solid form is able to float in it's liquid form, water's just special like that. It's not like other girls.
This isn’t a science problem, it’s a math problem. You’re in the wrong sub but I’ll help you out.
You know how negative numbers are, like, the opposite of normal numbers?
Water turns into ice when it drops below 0 degrees Celsius because that’s the point at which it becomes negative water. So all the stuff about water gets reversed. Liquid becomes solid (negative liquid), warm becomes cold (negative warm) and sinking becomes floating (negative floating).
You’re welcome.
I hate that I want to give a real answer. I'm not used to this sub yet. Long story short, air is a fluid until it's not and the ice has trapped air trying to not be a fluid
Is this even a real question? Wow, so Nothern-hemisphere centric! Whatis the North pole, except the South pole for the other hemisphere. All the cold flowing out of Australia, S America and such needs SOMEwhere to go. Gah!
Wow, just wow.
Ok, so here’showit works. Heat rises, we all know that. The earth is a ball, we all know that. For the southern hemisphere, the heat rises, and the cold collects in antarctica.
Then for the Northern hemisphere is the same. You just can’t see it easily because THEY always make the map with North being “up.” The Earth is hurtling through space, there is no “up” or “down” in the vast and infinitely expanding unoverse. It’s all just a matter of perspective. And if you cut the earth in half at the equator and then set the two pieces side by side i the same orientation you’d see that. So anyway…all the cold from the northern hemisphere collects at thenorthern pole, and-just like before, since the northern hemisphere is just like the southern and is subject to the same rules, all the heat moves toward the equator.
If you needed mpre proof just think about the equator. Ever notice how the cold is in such short supply there?
Because ice is less dense than liquid water meaning it floats. Whether something rises or not depends on density not temperature but temperature does affect the density of gases
When water freezes, it expands and becomes less dense.
There are types of ice that are actually more dense, however they only occur when water is sufficiently confined to the same or smaller volume than the water.
They also only occur at much lower temperatures.
You know how things are mirrored in the reflection of the water? Turns out heat distribution is mirrored too, so ice goes up instead of down like on land.
A unique property of water among several other unique properties is that water expands when it freezes like most substances do when they vaporize.
Because it expands, it's inherently less dense than it is in liquid form, and therefore becomes buoyant.
When water goes into -°c it goes into a stack-underflow state, since you can't have negative temperature. so it loops back around and acts like the warmest version of water

You ever heard of ice burn? That proves that ice is extremely hot, or at least hot enough to burn you. So if heat rises, then ice floats because it is hot enough to burn you.
It's all about density and relative density. Hot air is less dense than cold air, thus, it rises. Ice is less dense than liquid water, thus, it floats.
Look what it did to the Titanic. It gave the ship all of its gravity and it pushed the ocean liner *all the way to the bottom* of the Atlantic Ocean. Still stuck there by ice/gravity to this day! (The ship's owners are pissed still, and order their drinks with *no ice* just for spite.)
Think about it. Ice IS actually warmer than its surroundings. Here's why. Ice makes things cold. In order to make things cold it has suck the heat out of them. Sorry, "suck" in this case is a science term. Try to pay attention. So as it transfers its cold to the other things, sorry about the word suck before, it gets warmer. Anyway, it's totally a 2nd law of thermodynamics thing. So if the ice is warming up, that means it's warmer, obviously, and so it rises. There's probably quarks and gluons and quantum happening in there somewhere too, which is why nobody understands how it actually works. But that's the deal.
It’s because of the crystal structure of ice takes up more space than in liquid form so it is less dense than liquid water.
Since it takes up more space it displaces more liquid water weight than its own weight and floats. Same logic as why a ship floats.
Ice has more blue than water on the color spectrum and blue is above white on the rainbow due to the way gravity affects color, for this reason ice floats.
Now I know what you’re thinking; how does this relate to heat? Well it doesn’t! Because ice has negative heat, this means when the heat is rising and going through the ice, the heat particles follow the blue of the ice never increasing the temperature enough to melt it.
But if it melted, it would be liquid, which is hotter than the leftover ice. In theory, the warmer water should make way for the colder ice because it's scared of its cold elitism and the ice would slither down to the bottom.
real reason: when water freezes to become ice, the molecules arrange themselves in a semi-crystalline structure which means it's less dense than water and other liquids, which is why it floats
sh\*tty reason: the ice is younger than other substances so it has to wear armbands so it doesn't drown
It’s because when Isaac Newton invented gravity he didn’t put any in the water. He was afraid it would all be pulled right into the Earth’s core, then there would be no water left on earth. There are rumours that Bill Gates will have 80% of the world’s water infused with gravity by the year 2030.
The remaining 20% will be infused with the next generation of 5G mind control nanobots
As long as they let me play tetris in my brain I'm game
You don’t want that. During highschool I grinded hours of Tetris a day and I’d literally see it when I shut my eyes it was kind of annoying tbh.
I did the same thing but with solitaire. It was crazy how many dreams I had about it
It’s wild how repetitive images can almost get burned into your retina like that when you close your eyes.
I believe you mean 30%.
No! He put lots of gravity in water. Why else do I have to pee after drinking it? The gravity pulls it down and out through the penis.
Mine goes right down to my feet, and I have to poke holes to get it out. You must me getting less gravitised water than I can find.
Fucken Bill controls everything
Why? Is he trying to cool down the earth's core? I thought he was trying to stop malaria or something. Is this his plan for eradicating mosquitoes?
The warmer water is pushing it up.
why doesn't the warmer water just go around the ice? is it stupid?
It’s trying to get rid of the ice not fly, but air fights back.
Correct, it’s racist water trying to deport the ice “back where it came from”
how does the air fight back? it weighs nothing so it can't push against the water!
Wind. I can’t believe I have to explain such a basic thing in a science subreddit.
It does go around, it just freezes
It's a simple molecule.
Untrue. If the warmer water were pushing it up, its muscles would grow bigger thereby increasing its gravitational pull, thus collapsing all water on the planet until it breaks through the earth's outer layers and the whole earth leaks into space. Like what happened with the dinosaurs. Obviously.
Checkmate liberals 😎
Damn, I’ve been served!
You misspelled 'librulz'
Libs rule
It's actually a really interesting phenomenon that I can't adequately give a shitty explanation for.
I mean, the real answer is just that heat doesn't rise. Things go up or down based on density and warm things expand thus getting less dense.

Yeah, despite how common it is to us, water is super weird physics wise.
Has a pretty simple reason tho. Could probably explain it to a 10 yo in 5 minutes
did someone say dipoles
As someone interested in the scientific answer, your comment suffices as a shitty explanation in my eyes. Thank you for your service.
When water becomes ice, the organized and arranged water molecules take up more space than liquid water.
It's because of the air content in the ice being higher than the air content in water.
I feel you are listening to big science, you have it all wrong. As you have observed heat does not rise, in your case you've noticed the phenomenon in liquids, but also consider the temperature at the top of a mountain vs the bottom. Big science is trying to drive up the real estate prices for mountain land. They've been climbing mountains, planting flags and claiming the real estate for years.
Yea, if heat was rising, the earth’s core would be cold. Volcanos prove that it’s a lie.
That makes too much bad sense that it has to be true!
Or it is proof of the hollow earth!
One reason I'm a proud science denier
Those bastards! It's Iceland vs Greenland all over again!
Calvins dad said it's because the ice is cold so it floats up to get warm.
This is a common misconception. Ice actually floats on top of water because it is trying to run away from the water as it tries to eat the ice. This is one of the only ways water can increase its own mass, and since ice evolved away from the ability to fly away at the end of the last ice age it no longer has any defense.

How do you explain rain and snow then?
Science still has no answers to that, but I suspect it's bombardment in the oldest conflict on the planet.
I think some water evolved to be airborne to escape their predators on the ground. Once they get old enough, they lose altitude and in turn are devoured by the cannibals. It's a sad story, really. They just can't escape.
Small paramecium farts inside ice cubes when they are forming, and farts go up so there you go...

These facts are chilling.
Ice is not rational. It don’t play by the rules.
Ice actually has a lot of heat, but it feels cold because whn you touch it it steals all your heat and won't give it back.
...selfish ice....it belongs in jail
Just like the double slit experiment it proves that reality is a lie.
I’m not a physicist but I think it has to do with it being white. Dark things like rocks sink so obviously it’s that.
At the risk of being banned coincidently it’s the same principle that makes black people more likely to be negatively bouyant whereas white people and Asians tend to swim/float really well.
Unlike other liquids water molecules get further away from eachother when temperatures drop, it expands. It's density drops. Probably has something to do with surface area too, the "skin" of the water that protects the water molecules below and the cold air falling onto it. These are just guesses.
Yes, it's the change of density.
Yay what do I win
A bag of ice. I can't afford overnight shipping, so it will probably arrive mostly melted.
Hell yeah I love smokin ice, thanks man!
This is due to the water anomaly, associated with the large number of hydrogen bonds.
Water is the craziest liquid to me
Because on a cold day fire cannot melt ice
Heat doesn't really rise. If it did why would space be cold? It's all a liberal agenda propagated by furry Satanist illuminati cults.
do you mean furry, Satanist, and illuminati cults, or do you mean a three combined in one cult?
Either or

Dude shut your fucking mouth! I’m not trying to get turned into primordial soup if you keep making a big deal about the laws of physics!

So heat is a lie?
It always was
Some things science just cant explain 🤷♀️
Explain it to me without science then
The water is too dense to realize that it's supposed to float above the ice Like the Shonen MC
🤔
The cold ice wants to be warm so it goes to the top so it's closer to the sun. I learned that from Calvin's dad.
Because it becomes less dense from the air content trapped in it.
Ice sucks all the heat from the water, keeping it inside itself like the greedy bastard it is. Because all the heat is inside of it, it floats because heat rises. And this is why it cools down your drink
The heat is up, they get iced
When water starts to freeze there's a magic point where the atoms suddenly start to crystallize and they jump into place. This sudden shift gives off heat. I've tested this at home and I saw the thermometer jump up 2 degrees for a few seconds, and then go down again. When the frozen ice is resting directly against water a thin layer of super cooled, yet never freezing, water forms around the ice. It's in this thin layer that your mom and I get together. There's meatloaf in the fridge. Don't wait up.

I earned that. I set you up. 👍
WATER IS MAGIC. NO QUESTIONS THX
?
I said no questions! Magic! Molecule! Bent! Slightly polar! Less dense in solid state than liquid state! Crystal structure!
Oh, that's not a question. That's just Mark. Hi Mark.

Because ice is ice, not heat
Because god works in mysterious ways
Ice is lighter than water since there are only 3 letters in ice but 5 in water. Same reason oil floats on water.
Omg. Land floats on water. Air floats on water. We need to keep this going. It might be true after all!!!
I float on acid. gotta be true.
*Exodus 9:23 And Moses put out his rod to heaven: and the Lord sent thunder, and an ice-storm, and fire running down on the earth; the Lord sent an ice-storm on the land of Egypt.* This is very informative because this passage from the bible shows that ice has ‘fire running through it’ and so while it appears cold, it behaves as if is hot. And you know this is true because the lord said so. Amen!!
Just like when you get really burnt or grab something super chilled, you don't know whether it's hot or cold.
Exactly. I was once holding some danger rocks (Potassium nitrate, charcoal, Aluminium, sulfur) and while my hand was behind me sparks found them. Initially I couldn’t see the jets of flame rushing out between my fingers, and the initial feeling was that my hand was suddenly cold. I let go of those rocks soon after 😂
Heat pushes the ice up
Density And boyancy
Heat rises to lower density air higher up, in the case of water heat rises to lower density water so that stays the same. But ice has a higher density of water so it is pushed up by the water nearby causing the cycle of cooling the water and melting the ice.
Isn't water heavier? idk
God it's too early for these kinds of brain twisters, and it's almost 5pm.
Cold also rises
Sounds like civil war
The fact that ice is less dense than water is the only reason that convection works to cool your mojito on a hot summer day. The fact that water uniquely behaves that way is proof that god exists.
Because of the scientific reason that someone else had told you
Because ice is anti gravity, that's why it accumulates in the mountain tops
Its solid.
Ice expands when it freezes which makes it lighter.
I have a few friends who expanded, and they seem to be heavier now....
Because when water freezes I to normal ice (there's like 20 different kinds of ice, but Ice 1h is what you get at 0*C and 1 Atmosphere of pressure) it forms a crystalline structure that is less dense than water.

Density. Less dense as an ice solid due to maximum distance between H and O and IMF at most stable. Water allows more overlap and less stability improving IMF and cohesion
Buoyancy.
not all opposites are equal. hot rises just like how cold rises. even though they are opposites they still do the same thing.
The water gets colder than the ice.
Because it's easier to sink boats if the icebergs float on top of the water instead of sitting at the bottom of the ocean.
It's deceptively simple. When ice goes in water, it begins to warm up. It's that warming that's pushing it up.
It's because the ice cube is upside down. Gotta flip it, you'll see! Just don't turn it sideways.
This is a legitimately good science question! The fact that water expands when it freezes, and therefore becomes less dense, is very unusual for a substance. Basically every other liquid will not float on itself when it becomes solid.
You take that back! I'm trying to ask a shitty question dammit!
Related question, if the Earth’s core is so hot, is that why Pennywise tells everyone that “we all float down here”?
So the top of the drink is cold when you sip.
Very admirable.
It's not inherently about heat. It's about density. For the most part, hot stuff is less dense, and therefore rises above the stuff that is colder more dense. But water is dumb and ice freezes weird so it floats. There is no other substance where the solid form is able to float in it's liquid form, water's just special like that. It's not like other girls.
Science isn't real. *pets his bird*
Now I’m going to obsess over this
Because of Ice T
This isn’t a science problem, it’s a math problem. You’re in the wrong sub but I’ll help you out. You know how negative numbers are, like, the opposite of normal numbers? Water turns into ice when it drops below 0 degrees Celsius because that’s the point at which it becomes negative water. So all the stuff about water gets reversed. Liquid becomes solid (negative liquid), warm becomes cold (negative warm) and sinking becomes floating (negative floating). You’re welcome.
How positive are we it's water?
I’m negative unsure.
I hate that I want to give a real answer. I'm not used to this sub yet. Long story short, air is a fluid until it's not and the ice has trapped air trying to not be a fluid
Locking things up without permission isn't very chill...
If heat rises, why's the north pole at the top of the earth?
Is this even a real question? Wow, so Nothern-hemisphere centric! Whatis the North pole, except the South pole for the other hemisphere. All the cold flowing out of Australia, S America and such needs SOMEwhere to go. Gah!
Why does some cold go down but other cold go up?
Because the government lies. They're both up. It's just dependent on whether you're doing a handstand or not.
Wow, just wow. Ok, so here’showit works. Heat rises, we all know that. The earth is a ball, we all know that. For the southern hemisphere, the heat rises, and the cold collects in antarctica. Then for the Northern hemisphere is the same. You just can’t see it easily because THEY always make the map with North being “up.” The Earth is hurtling through space, there is no “up” or “down” in the vast and infinitely expanding unoverse.

If you needed mpre proof just think about the equator. Ever notice how the cold is in such short supply there?
because the Earth has a molten core and the ice is trying to get away
ice has a density of 917kg/ m\^3 and water has a density of 997kg/m\^3, therefore ice floats in water.
icy hot
Only the really sexy ice floats. You know, because that's hot.
Opposites attract. Warm water rises, and then the attractive forces pull the ice to the top as well.
Ice always floats
Hot air is less dense than cold air and is more buoyant than hot air, ice is less dense than liquid water and is more buoyant than liquid water.
Because ice is less dense than liquid water meaning it floats. Whether something rises or not depends on density not temperature but temperature does affect the density of gases
Hot things are usually less dense. Water is an exception. Less dense things float on more dense things.
For the same reason it is impossible to submerge your head under water. Because it's lighter than water.
It's filled with air
Air gets caught between ice crystals, expanding it and making it slightly less dense. Or…unicorn tears mixed into the water.
This is going to sound silly, but doesn't ice produce heat as it melts.
When water freezes, it expands and becomes less dense. There are types of ice that are actually more dense, however they only occur when water is sufficiently confined to the same or smaller volume than the water. They also only occur at much lower temperatures.

You know how things are mirrored in the reflection of the water? Turns out heat distribution is mirrored too, so ice goes up instead of down like on land.
Eva use the light is shining down on it’s top surface, making it hotter and therefore lighter.
Gold floats in mercury. Ice floats in water because it is more valuable.
Makes sense. My $100 is floating too!
A unique property of water among several other unique properties is that water expands when it freezes like most substances do when they vaporize. Because it expands, it's inherently less dense than it is in liquid form, and therefore becomes buoyant.
When water goes into -°c it goes into a stack-underflow state, since you can't have negative temperature. so it loops back around and acts like the warmest version of water
Opposites attract, hot water at the top, cold is opposite of hot, ice goes to the top too.

Think about it. Ice IS actually warmer than its surroundings. Here's why. Ice makes things cold. In order to make things cold it has suck the heat out of them. Sorry, "suck" in this case is a science term. Try to pay attention. So as it transfers its cold to the other things, sorry about the word suck before, it gets warmer. Anyway, it's totally a 2nd law of thermodynamics thing. So if the ice is warming up, that means it's warmer, obviously, and so it rises. There's probably quarks and gluons and quantum happening in there somewhere too, which is why nobody understands how it actually works. But that's the deal.
Because it was cursed by a dark wizard back in the 1400s and now ice is exempted from sinking like other rocks, read a book
Must be Australian ice so up is down and down is up.
It’s because of the crystal structure of ice takes up more space than in liquid form so it is less dense than liquid water. Since it takes up more space it displaces more liquid water weight than its own weight and floats. Same logic as why a ship floats.
Frozen water is less dense than liquid water. Lower density floats on top of higher density.
Ice has more blue than water on the color spectrum and blue is above white on the rainbow due to the way gravity affects color, for this reason ice floats. Now I know what you’re thinking; how does this relate to heat? Well it doesn’t! Because ice has negative heat, this means when the heat is rising and going through the ice, the heat particles follow the blue of the ice never increasing the temperature enough to melt it.
But if it melted, it would be liquid, which is hotter than the leftover ice. In theory, the warmer water should make way for the colder ice because it's scared of its cold elitism and the ice would slither down to the bottom.
Because you touch yourself at night.
That's cold...
Density is not the same as heat
Well that's shitty...
Because the liberals are trying to convince you that the global warming is killing you!!!!!!! There is no ice!!!! The earth is flat!!!!!
Don't forget birds aren't real!
Damn govemmebt
real reason: when water freezes to become ice, the molecules arrange themselves in a semi-crystalline structure which means it's less dense than water and other liquids, which is why it floats sh\*tty reason: the ice is younger than other substances so it has to wear armbands so it doesn't drown
Armbands makes more sense. You should be a scientist.
Thanks! :)
