Light is a form of energy that can easily convert into heat energy. Heat energy can change ice from its solid phase into its liquid form--- pure water.

Will colour affect how fast ice will melt?

The color of ice will affect how fast it melts due to its impact on the absorption of sunlight. Darker colors absorb more sunlight and heat, causing ice to melt faster compared to lighter colors that reflect more sunlight. This phenomenon is known as the albedo effect, where darker colors have lower albedo and absorb more heat energy. Therefore, the color of ice can influence its melting rate.


Why the ice in the Antarctica does not melt away into the sea when sunlight shines on it?

The reason the ice in the Antarctica does not melt away when sunlight shines upon it is because the whiteness of the ice reflects most of the light back into space. But as a result of global warming, much more ice are being melted now than before. And thus without the ice, more sea will appear. And with the sea, there were not as much ice to reflect the sunlight back into space, therefore more of the sunlight and its heat were absorbed by earth, and thus more and more ice will melt.


What effects ice melting the most?

heat


What is it in wood ashes that melts ice?

Ice and snow are highly reflective; when sunlight hits them, most of it bounces off. Ashes are dark and absorb sunlight (and other radiant energy) and capture sunlight and cause the warm ashes to melt the ice and snow beneath them.


Why does mud melt ice?

Mud has a lower albedo (reflectivity) compared to ice, meaning it absorbs more sunlight and heat. This leads to melting of ice when it comes into contact with mud because the mud transfers its heat to the ice, causing it to melt.

What might be the effect of sprinkling soot over the ice in the artic or Antarctic?

Sprinkling soot over ice in the Arctic or Antarctic could darken the ice's surface, decreasing its reflectivity. This can result in the ice absorbing more sunlight and warming up faster, potentially accelerating melting. Additionally, the presence of soot can alter the albedo of the ice, leading to further feedback effects on climate.

Why does the ice in Antarctica not melt away into the sea when sunlight shines on it?

Some of the ice melts, but since it's so thick -- 90% of the earth's store of ice is in the Antarctic ice sheet -- the sun doesn't shine hot enough to melt more ice than is frozen there during periods when there is no sunlight.
