Ice is neither hot or cold. Technically, nothing is cold. Everythin is based on energy. The more energy something has, the more "heat" it puts off. Ice feels cold against our skin because it has less energy than we do.

When ice turns to water in a container What is the liquid on the outside of the container?

The liquid to which you are referring is likely condensation - water. When water vapor in the air encounters something cold, such as a container with ice in it, the vapor tends to collect and condense into liquid water around the cold object. The same thing happens with a glass of ice water on a hot day.


Why are ice cubes made with hot water clearer then those made with cold water?

The difference between clear ice made by freezing previously-heated water and cloudy ice made from ordinary cold tap water is the presence of trapped air bubbles in the cloudy ice. The trapped air comes from gases that were dissolved in the cold water, but which come out of solution during freezing. When water is boiled, or raised in temperature, the solubility of gas is reduced and it comes out of solution, so that when that previously heated water is frozen there are no bubbles formed and the ice is clear.
