the floater, according to Archimede's Principle: a submerged object experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid, greater diameter=more dispersed liquid=greater upward force

In order to sink, the density must be higher. Since density is mass/volume, the object with the larger diamater floats.

The HST has been used to offer some impressive photos of the 4 substantial gasoline huge planets of our image voltaic gadget. i've got purely spent a jiffy to do a Google seek and located lots. Neptune is the furthest of the gasoline giants and previous this there is not any longer something of any substantial magnitude to justify aiming the HST at. the appropriate purpose of the HST is, and continually has been, to income the lots extra distant Universe of galaxies and galaxy clusters. each and every of the contraptions designed for use on the HST have been as a consequence designed with this purpose in suggestions. because of the fact there is taken under consideration one of these extensive distinction interior the brightness between the planets and distant galaxies, in case you have been to purpose and take a picture of Jupiter say with a digicam that's designed to take photos of very faint and distant galaxies over a era of a few days, you're able to maximum like wreck the digicam. With prevalent telescopes which comprise those utilized by ability of amateurs, we can see the two brighter and lots dimmer products. expert telescopes on the different hand, and specially telescopes in orbit are lots extra specialized and the cameras used with them are designed to image lots extra specialized objectives. Even in beginner astronomy, while imaging products you ought to used the wonderful form of telescope and digicam to tournament the brightness and length of the object you opt to image.

The one that floats has the bigger diameter because its density is less than water's.
Density = V/mass
Greater V (diameter) means lower density. Lower density means it floats.

The floating one.

They could have the same diameter but, the floater is hollow and made of metal, the other, is solid made of cork.
