About
Whole milk is a common dairy liquid that weighs slightly more than an equal volume of plain water.
Whole milk has a typical density of about 8.6 pounds per gallon (1.03 g/mL). Dissolved solids like sugars, proteins, and minerals make it slightly denser than pure water. Even though it contains butterfat, which is lighter than water, it remains heavier by volume than water or heavy cream. A standard half-gallon jug holds 64 fluid ounces (1.89 L) and weighs roughly 4.3 pounds (1.95 kg).
From Wikipedia
The fat content of milk is the proportion of milk, by weight, made up by butterfat. The fat content, particularly of cow's milk, is modified to make a variety of products.
