Lighter than what I am made of, More of me is hidden Than is seen.

Iceberg

Why this works

This riddle cleverly plays with the properties of icebergs and their physical characteristics. The phrase "lighter than what I am made of" refers to ice being less dense than liquid water, allowing icebergs to float. The second line, "More of me is hidden than is seen," highlights the common fact that only about 10% of an iceberg is visible above the water's surface, while the vast majority remains submerged. Together, these clues lead us to the answer: iceberg, which embodies both the literal and visual aspects described in the riddle.

Common Wrong Answers

“Snow”

Snow is not typically described as being 'lighter' than itself, and unlike an iceberg, it doesn't primarily exist in a submerged state.

“Cloud”

Clouds are not made of a solid material and do not have a significant portion hidden beneath a surface, unlike icebergs.

“Fog”

Fog is composed of tiny water droplets and does not have a hidden structure or mass; it also doesn't fit the riddle's context of being made of something solid.
