The shape should not affect the Rate of Melting.
It WILL change how long it takes Overall, but if you have
a regular 'Ice Tray in the Freezer' Ice cube made for drinks
and such and a large ice ball, as long as they are the same
temperature to begin with, they will melt at the same pace.
The larger one will just take longer because of its size.

Why does a glass of ice cubes in water melt faster than a glass of ice cubes in a glass of soda?
Ice cubes that are in water are in full contact with a liquid medium with high rate of heat transfer. in soda, some of the surface of the ice is in contact with gas bubbles that have low rate of heat transfer. Liquid transfers heat (melting the ice) faster than air.
What happens if you leave an ice cube out of the freezer?
The ice cubes will melt.Ice cubes are small, roughly cube-shaped pieces of ice, conventionally used to cool beverages. Ice cubes are often preferred over crushed ice because they melt more slowly; they are standard in mixed drinks that call for ice, in which case the drink is said to be "on the rocks."Ice cubes are produced domestically by filling an ice cube tray with water and placing it in a freezer. Many freezers also come equipped with an icemaker, which produces ice cubes automatically and stores them in a bin from which they can be dispensed directly into a glass. Ice cubes out of a tray are generally longer and thinner, requiring less force to remove them from the tray and thereby reducing the likelihood of the cube becoming stuck in the dispenser.There are also dedicated ice-maker machines used to produce ice cubes for laboratories and academic use. Ice cubes are also produced commercially and sold in bulk; these ice cubes, despite their name, are often cylindrical, and may have holes through the center. An interesting characteristic of commercially made ice cubes is that they are completely clear, lacking the clouding found in the center of domestically made ice cubes.Cloudy ice cubes result when water is frozen quickly, or when the water is high in dissolved solids. When water is cooled to its freezing point, and ice starts to form, dissolved gases can no longer stay in solution and come out as microscopic bubbles. However, as ice floats in water, once there is enough ice to form a layer on the surface, the ice layer traps all bubbles within the ice cube. Commercial ice-makers use a flowing source of purified water to make ice with cooling elements at the bottom, allowing the bubbles to be washed away from the top as the cube grows.Melting ice cubes sometimes precipitate white flakes, commonly known as "floaties". This is calcium carbonate which is present in many water supplies and is completely harmless.[citation needed]Ice cubes can also be crushed or sheared into irregularly-shaped flakes, adding an interesting aesthetic effect to some cocktails. Crushed ice is also used when faster cooling is desired, since the rate of cooling is governed by the number and average radius of the ice particles
How does the type of liquid affect how fast the liquid will melt?
Different substances all have different freezing points as part of their elemental properties, and compounds and mixtures also exhibit their own melting points. As such he contents of the liquid can greatly effect the freezing point of a substance.
How does color effect the rate at which M and Ms melt?
If all colors of M&M's were put under a heat lamp, the darkest colored ones should - theoretically - melt first, as the darker colors absorb more heat.
Does ice melt faster with black or white paper?
it melts faster on a metal surface.Ice absorbs heat from metal faster than it absorbs it from wood. Wood is an insulator. It slows down the transfer of heat to the ice. Metal is a conductor. It absorbs heat readily, and passes it on quickly.
What the materials you need for the question does color affect the rate in which ice cubes melt?
No...? why would color affect ice. Color is a physical property.

Does different coloured surfaces affect the rate at which ice cubes melt?
This is a really good question and the answer is quite straight-forward:First it's important to note that in absolute dark different colours would have no effect on the rate of melting, the rate is dependent on the wavelengths and intensity of the light the surface is exposed to.If we assume we have two surfaces, one red and one black, and we expose both surfaces to red light of the same intensity. On which surface do you think the ice would melt faster?The red surface will reflect the red light, however the black surface will absorb the red lightcausing the black surface to increase in temperature. So the ice will melt faster on the black surface.
How do different concentrations of salt and sugar solutions affect the melting rate of ice?
Salt makes ice melt quicker and suger causes the ice to melt slower.
Does color effect the rate in which ice cube melts?
Yes, as you may known, Black absorb heat, white repel, so therfore black ice cube will be more likely to melt faster than shiny transparant ice cubes.
How will the different water temperatures affect the rate of melting ice cube?
Hot water will make the ice cube melt really fast. If you use warm water it'll melt, but it takes a while. If you use cold water it won't melt unless the room is warm or hot.

Which does ice melt slower plastic or wood?
Two identical pieces of ice, each placed on identically sized and shaped blocks of plastic and wood at the same temperature, will melt at a rate proportional to the thermal conductivity and the thermal mass of the object they are on. Generally, wood is a better thermal insulator than plastic. Short answer: wood.
Which brand of ice pops melt the fastest?
Ice melts at a standard rate proportional to itself, so if all ice pops are the same size they will melt at the same rate. However if some brands have wider ice pops than others, they will melt slower.
Does an ice cube melt quicker as it gets smaller?
Melting of an ice cube mainly depends on the temperature of surrounding. If the larger ice cube is put at 50 degrees Celsius and small one at 25 degree Celsius the large ice cube will melt faster than the smaller one. Ice cube draws energy from the surrounding which causes it to melt and so temperature of surrounding is very important
How does color affect the rate at which freeze pops melt?
I don't believe they do
What rate will an ice cube melt in plastic wrap versus aluminum foil?
it will melt about in an hour or either in 1 or 2 minutes
