If i put a ball in a bucket it floats. I took the bucket to the moon.  Will it float or not? Why?

floating of object in a liquid depends on the difference in  weight of object and weight of displaced liquid.
if weight of the object is less than weight of displaced liquid then the object will float.
Weight of displaced liquid = V×ρw ×g . where V is volume, ρw is density of water and g is acceleration due to gravity.
Since volume and density will not change whether on earth or moon, weight of the object and
weight of the displaced liquid are affected in similar manner due to acceleration due to gravity,
 
Hence. if the ball floats in water on earth surface, it will also float in water on moon
