Ice melts because it absorbs heat from its surrounding. Wrapping ice around in a newspaper cuts down this heat loss to the surrounding. As a result, ice melts at a slower rate when wrapped in a newspaper than it would if left unwrapped.

Why is it so that ice cubes wrapped in newspapers do not melt easily?

Wrapping ice cubes in newspapers helps slow down the melting process by insulating them from external heat sources. The paper acts as a barrier, reducing the transfer of heat from the surroundings to the ice cubes, thereby keeping them colder for longer.

Why ice wrapped in newspapers does not melt easily?

Cellulose ( wood fibres as in newspaper ) is an insulator. The more layers of paper, the more effective the insulation. Similarly, fish and chip stores of yesteryear used several newspaper pages to bundle up a takeout order of fish and chips, in order to keep them hot until you got home. Today, restaurants use styro-type packaging for the same reason.

An ice cube wrapped in black cloth would probably melt first because the black cloth would be more conducive to absorbing heat from the surroundings while the aluminum foil would be more prone to reflecting it.


Will ice melt faster wrapped in plastic foil and aluminum foil and put it outside or if you put it inside?

The ice will melt faster if placed outside rather than inside, regardless of how it's wrapped, due to higher ambient temperatures. However, wrapping the ice in plastic foil and aluminum foil will provide some insulation to slow the melting process compared to leaving it unwrapped.
