What is the heat that is used to evaporate water or to melt snow?

heat or thermal energy according to kinetic molecular theory accelerates the molecules from the minimal movement solid state to the next stage liquid in which the molecules move slowly but freely and if the heat is high enough to a gaseous state in which the molecules move freely and at an accelerated rate.water melts at 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit and vaporizes (boils) at 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius

What causes snow to melt in spring?
The sun rays (heat) from the sun melt away the snow. The snow has to be cold to remain snow or it will melt.
What specific heat is the energy used to evaporate water or melt snow?
The first is called enthalpy of vaporization, the second is called enthalpy of fusion.
What kind of heat is the energy used to evaporate water or melt snow?
Evaporation is due to the kinetic energy of molecules; melting is due to the absorption of thermal energy.
What causes snow to melt to liquid water?
heat
Does car exhaust melt snow?
Yes, heat melts snow

How does snow changes to form water vapor?
Snow can melt and turn into water and evaporate, and then the water turns into water vapor.
Does snow turn into gas?
If heated sufficiently it will turn into water vapour (steam) which is the gaseous state of water. It will also melt and evaporate.
Why does snow melt in a cooking pan?
Snow does not melt if placed in a cooking pan if that cooking pan is placed in the snow outside.There is nothing inherent about a cooking pan that will cause snow to melt, snow melts when it warms up - there has to be an application of heat. Heat causes snow to melt.
How does snow and ice melt?
Heat.
Does car exhaust melt snow?
Yes, heat melts snow
Why does the snow melt when you sit on it?
because we have body heat
What is snow melt run off?
Snow melt runoff is the water runoff after the snow melts usually in the spring.
What is snow melt run-off?
Snow melt runoff is the water runoff after the snow melts usually in the spring.
