NO, 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) is the freezing point of water and the melting point of Ice. Snow and Ice must be above 0 degrees Celsius (32 Fahrenheit) to melt to water and then the water will start to evaporate.

This is not exactly correct. Snow and Ice will evaporate below freezing temperatures due to the process of sublimation.

Sublimation is when an element or compound transitions from the solid to gas phase with no intermediate liquid stage. Sublimation occurs at temperatures and pressures below the triple point (intersection of the lines of equilibrium between three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas).

The sub-zero temperatures in your freezer combined with the air circulation that keeps the air arid significantly accelerates the sublimation process. This keeps freezer walls and shelves free of ice, although ice-cubes will continually sublime.

Can water evaporate in cold weather in ten days?

Absolutely. Water can evaporate in almost any conditions.


Which water will evaporate first Hot Medium or Cold?

Hot water will evaporate first because the higher temperature causes the water molecules to move faster, increasing the rate of evaporation. Cold water has slower-moving molecules, resulting in a slower rate of evaporation.

Why aren't manatees usually found in cold water?

Manatees aren't usually found in cold water because their bodies only survive in warm water climates. The manatees are found in warm water climates only.


Are polar regions dry?

Because its too cold for any water to evaporate and precipitate back down to earth I think you meant to say that it is too cold for water to CONDENSE and precipitate back down to earth. If it is too dry, water WILL evaporate.


Why does boiling water turn to vapor in the cold?

Boiling water turns to vapor in the cold because the temperature difference between the hot water and the cold air causes the water to evaporate and turn into vapor.
