{{right}} versus {{float right}}

This template, {{right}}, retains the text in the normal flow, but causes it to be aligned along the right margin. {{float right}} takes a block of text out of the normal text flow, and floats it as far right as possible, without changing how it is aligned; other text can flow around it, as if it were a picture or diagram.
