A very cold ice cube may appear to smoke, but actually what you are seeing is water vapor. The air around the ice cube is cooled by the cold ice cube, and when it cools, water vapor in the air condenses into fog.
There are a few factors as to why an ice cube takes its time in melting. The main factors are the size of the ice and the temperature of its surroundings. The larger the piece of ice, the longer it takes to melt. This is because the ice itself is very cold and it takes a while for the temperature to completely melt the whole cube. If it is very small, it is subject to faster melting because the temperature melts the small amount of water easier. The other main factor is the temperature, the closer the temperature is to 0° C, the faster it will melt. There are also other factors like the other contents of the cube, time spent in and out of cold area and even air pressure but those seem irrelevant to this specific answer. Assuming this ice cube is normal sized in room temperature, the reason for the long time would be the fact that the room is around 60-70° F and it takes a while for the ice cube to adjust to the temperature and be affected by it. Once the high temperature of the room act on the below freezing ice cube, they will raise the ice cube's temperature to 0° C and it fully melts. Other Answer: It depends on how big the ice cube is and on the temperature in the room or out side. for example: If i have an ice cube and i set it out side in the snow it will melt it will just take longer because its very cold out side. Or..... If i have an ice cube and i set it in 90 degree weather it will melt a lot faster than in the snow.
Because the freezer keep the ice cold. And its surrounding is of the same temperature

A lot of factors affect an ice cube, and this can be described using science. For example you can use science to explain the transfer of heat from the ice cube particles to the surrounding air, as cold is transfered to a particle which is hotter, which causes the outer particles of the ice cube to gain hear and to melt etc. :)
cold like an ice cube in her heart

metaphor
Do you mean: Is 'cold as ice' a metaphor or a simile? If so, it is a simile because 'cold as ice' uses as. A simile is a comparison that uses like or as. A metaphor is a comparison that DOES NOT use like or as. Hope that helps. :)
Metaphor
Cold water.
A metaphor is simply using a word or phrase as a symbol for another word or phrase. A metaphor for ice might be glass.
The juice is warmer than the cold ice cube, so the heat causes the ice to melt.
a cube that is very cold
It is colder than a ice cube

um..a fridge?
