When water freezes, it turns into crystals. These can either be locked together in a large group to form a solid lump or slab to form ice, or a few of them get together to form a snowflake. But they're still the same stuff, and they'll both be the same temperature as the surrounding conditions allow.

It's like asking if sand is hotter or colder than a rock. They too will have whatever temperature the conditions in their surroundings allow for them.

If it gets hotter around the snow/ice, solid ice will heat up(and eventually melt) a bit slower, on account of being denser.

Was lemonade was colder than a iceberg in the arctic?

Lemonade can be chilled to a low temperature, often around 0°C (32°F) when served with ice. However, an iceberg in the Arctic typically has temperatures well below freezing, often around -10°C (14°F) or colder. Therefore, while lemonade can be cold, it is generally warmer than an iceberg in the Arctic.

What temperature does it have to be for snowfall?

It depends on more than the temperature. It can snow when it is above freezing point (if it's colder where the snow comes from).


Why does snow melt quicker than ice?

because ice is colder warmer air can circulate through the gaps in snow.


Why is ice colder than snow?

Ice is colder than snow because ice is compacted and has a more organized molecular structure, which allows for better heat retention. Snow, on the other hand, is made up of loosely packed ice crystals with air pockets in between, making it a better insulator and therefore less cold.


How strong is the iceberg when titanic hit it?

The iceberg was harder than granite. Glacial ice is not frozen water. It's densely compacted snow, so it's six times denser than the ice in your freezer.
