About
Butter is a churned dairy fat that weighs about 7.6 ounces (215 g) per standard US cup.
With a density of roughly 0.91 grams per milliliter, butter is lighter than water and will float once melted. A full US cup holds about 7.6 ounces (215 g), making it slightly lighter by volume than granulated sugar or whole milk. Because churned butter is a solid emulsion of fat and water, it packs into containers without leaving large air pockets.
From Wikipedia
Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churned cream. It is a semi-solid emulsion at room temperature, consisting of approximately 81% butterfat.
