As an egg ages, its internal air cell gradually becomes larger.

That's why an older egg may tilt upward or float when placed in water, while a relatively fresh egg tends to stay lower.

However, the float test indicates age, not food safety. A floating egg isn't automatically spoiled, and a sinking egg isn't guaranteed safe.

If you're uncertain, crack the egg separately and evaluate it appropriately rather than relying on the water test alone.
