doll.mlinjo.comWhy Is Ice Cold?
Have you ever touched an ice cube and said, “Brrr, it’s freezing!”? But what makes ice so cold? And why does water turn into ice?
Let’s explore the cool science of ice! ❄️
💧 Water Can Change Shape
Water is amazing because it can be:
💦 A liquid (like in a glass)
💨 A gas (like steam from a kettle)
🧊 A solid (like ice!)
When you put water in the freezer, it gets very, very cold. If the temperature goes below 0°C or 32°F, the water molecules slow down and stick together — forming ice!
It’s like a water dance party turning into a freeze tag game! 🕺➡️🧍♂️
❄️ Why Does Ice Feel So Cold?
Your skin is warm. When you touch ice, the heat from your hand moves into the ice. That makes your skin lose warmth — so it feels cold!
That’s also why ice melts if you hold it too long — your hand is warming it up!
So, ice is just frozen water — made when water gets super cold and its molecules slow down and freeze. It feels cold because it steals your heat! 🧊🤲
