Cold water is heavier than warm water

Did you know that cold water is heavier than warm water? (the same amounts, for example, one liter)

The density of water increases as the temperature decreases. Water molecules move more slowly as the temperature drops, causing them to pack closer together. As a result, the mass per unit volume increases, meaning the density of the water becomes greater.

In warm water, the molecules move faster and are further apart, which results in a lower density. That’s why a liter of cold water will be heavier than a liter of warm water.
