Light is a form of energy that can easily convert into heat energy. Heat energy can change ice from its solid phase into its liquid form--- pure water.

Will colour affect how fast ice will melt?
Colour is basically how much sunlight the object absorbs/reflects. Black absorbs all sunlight which is why it is so dark, white reflects all sunlight which is why it is so bright. So if the ice cube is say black, it will melt faster than if an ice cube was white, because of how much sunlight is absorbed.
Does sunlight effects moss growth?
no
What is it in wood ashes that melts ice?
Ice and snow are highly reflective; when sunlight hits them, most of it bounces off. Ashes are dark and absorb sunlight (and other radiant energy) and capture sunlight and cause the warm ashes to melt the ice and snow beneath them.
Why the ice in the Antarctica does not melt away into the sea when sunlight shines on it?
The reason the ice in the Antarctica does not melt away when sunlight shines upon it is because the whiteness of the ice reflects most of the light back into space. But as a result of global warming, much more ice are being melted now than before. And thus without the ice, more sea will appear. And with the sea, there were not as much ice to reflect the sunlight back into space, therefore more of the sunlight and its heat were absorbed by earth, and thus more and more ice will melt.
What effects ice melting the most?
heat

How does ice affect incoming sunlight?
clean ice reflects sunlight back into space and prevents heat buidup on ice, dirty ice has the opposite affect

Which flavor of ice cream attracts more sunlight chocolate vanilla strawberry or mint chocolate chip?
The chocolate ice cream would attract more sunlight.
What will make ice melt faster out of hot water cold water heat ac or sunlight?
sunlight will
What is the effects of ice wind and rain on rocks called?
The effects of ice wind and rain on rocks is called erosion.
What are side effects of eating ice regularly?
None. There are no side effects to eating ice cream on a regular basis.
What is in ice cream that effects it's melting time?
ice.
Why does the ice in Antarctica not melt away into the sea when sunlight shines on it?
Some of the ice melts, but since it's so thick -- 90% of the earth's store of ice is in the Antarctic ice sheet -- the sun doesn't shine hot enough to melt more ice than is frozen there during periods when there is no sunlight.
