Buoyant force operates similarly in both liquids and gases. It depends on the density of the surrounding fluid and the volume of the object displacing that fluid. However, because gases are much less dense than liquids, buoyant forces in gases are generally much smaller.

Buoyant force acts on objects in both liquids and gases, depending on fluid displacement. In liquids, it is often stronger due to higher fluid density, making objects more likely to float. In gases, the lower density results in a weaker buoyant force, causing fewer objects to float unless they are very light.
