Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Float"

A: The principal meaning of float as either a noun or verb, involves the idea of something buoyant on the surface of a liquid, including the idea of that thing drifting gently across the surface. Good examples of this would be a boat or raft floating down a river, or to describe fluffy white clouds floating across the summer sky. These concepts of floats or floating are also applied in numerous other situations that share similar characteristics.

In a parade, such as an annual Santa Claus Parade, in addition to people walking in the parade, there are normally themed, decorated vehicles (for example with children dressed as elves making toys for Christmas). These vehicles are called floats. Often they have "skirts" around them hiding the vehicle and wheels, giving the impression of boats floating at a slow walking pace down a river.

A plane that can land on water is called a float plane, and has buoyant floats to permit this.

There are a couple of differences luckily!

Float is generally a “natural” effect as opposed to levitation, which is usually magical. A balloon will float in the air, a person can float in water. In contrast, a magician might make someone levitate.

Hovering is similar to float, it’s not really magical, but it requires effort. While it might take no energy to float in water (for a person at least), a bee has to work hard to hover above the ground. A hovercraft doesn’t stay suspended in the air unless the fans are working at full speed.

Hope this helps!

A: As verbs the difference between drift and float. is that drift is (label) to move slowly, especially pushed by currents of water, air, etc while float is (lb) of an object or substance, to be supported by a liquid of greater density than the object so as that part of the object or substance remains above the surface.

A: Float=to rise above/stay on top of a surface
Sink=to fall beneath a surface
