That would depend on the temperature of the cube and the water along with the volume of water and the mass of the ice cube and its area.

Where will an ice cube melt faster in air or water and why?
It depends on the circumstances. If the volume of air and water that the cube is in contact with are constant, then it would melt faster in water because water is a better conductor of heat than air, assuming that the air and water are initially the same temperature. However, if the water volume is limited (like a glass of water), the water would quickly become colder as the ice melts, and the melting process would slow down. It is assumed that in everyday circumstances the volume of air around an ice cube is not so limited, and that natural currents would replace the cooled air quickly, and therefore the temperature of the surrounding air would stay the same. In this case, the cube in the air would melt slower than the one in water initially, but as the water cooled down, the one in air would then melt faster.

Why doesn't hot water stay hot?
It eventually cools to the temperature of its surrounding environment. For example, when you put an ice cube on your kitchen table, it won't stay an ice cube because the surrounding environment (the kitchen, which is about 75o Fahrenheit) is far too warm, and will eventually melt the ice cube. This same principle can be used for why hot water doesn't stay hot. Unless the surrounding environment is as hot as the water, the water won't stay hot. Plus, water has a very high heat capacity (meaning it can absorb a lot of heat before actually feeling warmer), so constant high temperature on the water is necessary to make it remain hot.
Can sea animals stay under water for a long time?
a few of the sea animals cannot stay under water for a long time.
Does an ice cube with a certain weight melts and the resulting weight is?
The weight of the water will stay the same whether ice, water or steam, because the mass has not changed.
