The text states that apples contain one-quarter air, which explains why they float in water.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (76/100).
The claim that apples contain one-quarter air, causing them to float in water, is supported by multiple sources that explain the concept of buoyancy. Sources such as Best Food Facts confirm that apples are 25% air, making them less dense than water, which accounts for their ability to float. This aligns with the principles of buoyancy, whereby objects less dense than the fluid they are in will float. As such, the claim is factual.
