Question

1. At what temperature does ice start to melt?

Answer 1

Answer:

32°F / 0°C

Explanation:

The melting point is the temperature at which a solid turns to a liquid. The melting point at which ice — a solid — turns to water — a liquid — is 32°F (0°C).

Answer 2

Answer:

Ice/snow will melt at 0C when it get enough energy to change its state (phase). You need some caloric energy for ice to reach zero degrees Celsuis and then all energy you pour into it will be used to change ice to water (all this time temperature of ice/water mix will be 0C). After all ice melts, additional energy will heat the water and temperature will rise.
