When ice cubes are placed on a hot frying pan, they melt quickly due to the significant temperature difference between the ice and the pan. The heat from the pan transfers rapidly to the ice, causing the solid water to absorb energy and transition into liquid form. This process occurs efficiently because the frying pan's high temperature provides ample thermal energy to overcome the ice's latent heat of fusion. Consequently, the ice cubes can melt almost instantaneously in such conditions.
Ice cubes melt quickly on a hot frying pan due to the significant temperature difference between the ice and the pan. When the ice comes into contact with the hot surface, heat transfers rapidly from the pan to the ice, causing the ice molecules to gain energy and transition from solid to liquid. Additionally, the large surface area of the ice in contact with the pan enhances this heat transfer, leading to faster melting.

Ice cubes melt faster in the sun because sunlight is a form of radiant energy that warms the ice cubes, causing them to absorb heat and melt more quickly. The higher temperature from the sun speeds up the rate of melting compared to ice cubes kept in the shade.
Ice cubes on the ground will generally melt faster during the daytime because of the warmer temperatures and direct exposure to sunlight. Nighttime temperatures tend to be cooler, providing less heat for the ice cubes to melt quickly.
The rate at which ice cubes melt in water depends on factors such as the temperature of the water, the size and shape of the ice cubes, and the amount of agitation in the water. Generally, smaller ice cubes will melt faster than larger ones due to their increased surface area exposed to the water. Warmer water will also cause ice cubes to melt more quickly compared to colder water.
If you put ice cubes in a bowl or whatever of hot water, the ice cube is sure to melt when put so says science.
Ice cubes have a larger surface area compared to a block of ice with the same mass, allowing for more heat exchange with the surrounding environment. This increased surface area enables the ice cubes to absorb heat more quickly, causing them to melt faster than a block of ice.
They melt because the heat in the air is warmer than the temperature of the ice cubes.

Depends on the size and shape, but they all melt the same way
