The density of water is 0.998. In its liquid state, it is 1 gram/mL or 1 cm3/mL. All other densities are based in relation to water density.

Water's density increases as water cools. The maximum density for fresh water occurs at 4 degrees Celsius. As water freezes, it expands, so its density decreases. This is the reason why ice floats in liquid water.

It's not just a coincidence that it's density is so close to 1 g/cc. A gram was originally *defined* as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water under standard conditions.

the density of water is 1 gram per mililiter. Density=mass over volume. Dum Dum

ok, its weird, water is strange and it always wonders me, how come for one unit value of volume, there is always equal correspondent value of mass, 1:1 ratio
