Why is Ice a black body?
It's not. The term "black body" is used to describe a hypothetical perfectly black object that reflects no light at all .here the light refers to entire electromagnetic spectrum. Although the emissivity of ice is near about 0.95 hence it behaves more as black body (emmisivity = 1) than a white body. The reason is for ice to be near about black body is that ice is a very good absorber of radiation outside the visible region (eg for infrared rays ) . Hence ice is more a black body than a white body (as in appearance ).
