the water may be a warmer temperature than the air. why does ice melt faster in water than in air
air does not melt.
an ice cube melts faster in water.it depends on the temperature of the air or water, if the water is warmer than the room air temperature, it will melt faster in the water.
The melting rate of an ice depends on the temperature of the surrounding. If the temperature is higher in the surrounding then the ice will melt at a faster rate and if the temperature is low then it will take more time to melt. The process of heat exchange is important whether it is air or water.

if it is hot water it tends to melt faster but if it is cold water it wont melt quickly
One is the temperature of the water could be warmerSecondly when an ice cube is in water, conduction takes place. The kinetic energy of the water particles more time.moves to the ice causing it to melt. When in air radiation or convection must take place which will take
depends on the temperature of the air/water.
That depends entirely on the air temperature and the temperature of the water.
I think it all depends. What is the ambient temperature of the air or water and what kind of water (moving water or settled, salt or distilled)? With all things being equal it will melt faster in the water because of what scientists call convection current.
It depends if its hot water but it will still melt faster in cold water tha the air.
Assuming that the air and water in your question have the same temperature, ice would melt faster in the water, as there is a greater degree of heat transferance in water due to its greater density.
Most likely hot water.
