Feb 14, 2015[quote]Water is the only substance on earth that is lighter as a solid than a liquid.[/quote]Actually that is incorrect. A pound of water weighs the same as a pound of ice, melt the pound of ice and it still weighs a pound. Since water expands some when frozen it displaces more VOLUME and is the reason ice floats. This is why water pipes burst when they get frozen solid, it is due to the water expanding when it becomes frozen. Take a straight sided container of water and put it in the freezer, you will find the sides bulged out somewhat after it is completely frozen.تفاعلرد - MAManOfWicklowصاحب المنشورFeb 14, 2015[quote][quote]Water is the only substance on earth that is lighter as a solid than a liquid.[/quote]Actually that is incorrect.
