    Milk has fat in it.When we boil it,the fat forms a upper layer.Water vapors generated out of heating of milk is not able to penetrate the fatty layer, thus it rise on boiling. While in case of water there is no such layer.

    Because it is separating, there is two main parts to milk, the fat and the milk/water. When you boil the milk the fat rises to the top separating itself from the thiner milk liquid....and then it curdles, so don't eat it too much like that....and use whipping cream instead of milk,
