Why is it that a whole orange will float on water but a peeled one will sink

Physics

The orange with the peel floats because the rind is porous and filled with tiny air pockets. These pockets of air make the orange less dense than water and cause it to float. When you remove the rind from the orange, you are also removing those tiny air pockets. Therefore, the orange without the peel is more dense than water and it sinks.



Hope this helps!

Because the orange that’s not peeled will have oxygen in it an air so basically it will float if it peeled and has no skin basically it will sink because all the oxygen is let out
