Because that is where it is losing heat to the air, and water that reaches 32°F / 0° C must still lose energy to form ice. The water below the surface stays in equilibrium with the rest of the body of water. Once the entire surface is iced over, heat can only be lost through the smaller temperature difference between the water and the ice, rather than continuously to very cold air. Eventually, however, the entire body of water would freeze, if very cold temperatures persist.

About how many ice cubes make up one cup of ice?
Approximately 16-18 ice cubes make up one cup of crushed ice, while for larger cubes, it may take 8-10 to make up a cup. The actual number can vary based on the size of the ice cubes and how they are packed.
Why a glass of ice water often has water droplets which form on the outside while a hot cup of tea or soup does not?
the main reason is condensation of water vapour in the air to water droplets
Is hot water poured into a cup a gas?
No, hot water poured into a cup is in liquid form, not a gas. At higher temperatures, water molecules move more quickly and can evaporate into steam, which is the gaseous form of water.
When you put water in a plate then put a candle in the water and light it then put a cup over it and the water goes into the cup what is this called?
This is known as an experiment demonstrating the concept of water displacement and the principle of atmospheric pressure. When the candle burns inside the cup, it consumes oxygen, reducing air pressure inside the cup. The higher atmospheric pressure outside the cup forces the water up into the cup to balance the pressure difference.
What change in energy happens when water droplets condense on the outside of a cup that holds cool water?
When water droplets condense on the outside of a cup holding cool water, thermal energy is released into the surrounding air. This process occurs because water vapor in the air loses energy as it transitions from a gas to a liquid state, which is an exothermic reaction. As a result, the temperature of the air near the cup may increase slightly, while the cup itself remains cool. This energy transfer is a demonstration of the principles of condensation and heat exchange.
Why would droplets of water form on the outside of a cup?
rain
Would droplets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?
yes.
Why does water not form on the outside of a cup when you have a hot drink?
Water does not form on the outside of a cup when you have a hot drink because the heat from the drink is transferred to the cup and prevents the air surrounding the cup from reaching its dew point and forming condensation. This is because the cup acts as a barrier, keeping the outer surface temperature above the dew point.
What part of the water cycle does the water on the outside of a cup show?
The water on the outside of the cup is an example of condensation.
Will a cup full of ice cubes and water spill if you wait for the ice cubes to melt?
No. Water expands when it freezes so when it melts, it will take up a smaller volume.
Why would drophlets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?
Assuming the glass cup held a cold liquid, the air closest to the cup will be colder than the surrounding air, causing water vapour in the air to condense into liquid water droplets.
How much water should you use to make bouillon cubes?
1 cup of water for 1 bouillon cube
If given a metal container filled with ice waterwhat will form on the outside of the canwhere does it come from?
a condensation of water will form on the outside of the metal container. What really happens is the frigid temperature of the cup actually cool the air down that it comes in contact with and water droplets form.
About how many ice cubes make up one cup of ice?
Approximately 16-18 ice cubes make up one cup of crushed ice, while for larger cubes, it may take 8-10 to make up a cup. The actual number can vary based on the size of the ice cubes and how they are packed.
What will happen if you put 3 ice cubes in a plastic cup for 10 minutes and then for the other 10 minutes you put the 3 ice cubes in a paper cup?
The ice cubes will melt at a relatively equal rate in both the plastic and paper cup. The paper cup may allow for slightly more heat transfer due to its thinner material, but the difference in melting time should be minimal. Both cups will have water from the melted ice cubes after 20 minutes.
Why a glass of ice water often has water droplets which form on the outside while a hot cup of tea or soup does not?
the main reason is condensation of water vapour in the air to water droplets
When I pour cold lemonade in a plastic cup why is there water outside my cup and where did that water come from?
The cold lemonade cool the temperature of the plastic cup including the outer side of it. Thereby lowering the amount of water the air can contain, resulting in water condensating - attaching to the cup.
