Why does ice cream melt in the sun?

Because its melting point is very low and sun provides enough energy to melt the wax.


Which type of energy causes snow to melt?

The primary source of energy that causes snow to melt is heat energy from the sun. The sun's rays heat the snow, causing the ice crystals to break down and turn into liquid water. This process is known as melting.


What happens to the particles when Ice cream when it is being eaten on a sunny day and it starts to drip down the cone before being licked up?

wierd question but..... the particles start to absorb energy from the sun which enables them to move around more so they can change from a soild to a liquid. it gose down the cone because of the gravitaional force actin on it!


Will ice melt in vacuum?

Ice melts when heat is transferred to it. This can happen through conduction (heat is transferred through a material touching the ice) or radiation (shining light on the ice). If ice is placed in a vacuum, the air can no longer conduct heat to it, and it will last longer, but it can still melt if it sits on a support that conducts heat, or light shines on it. In the vacuum of space, ice comets can persist for a very long time, melting bit by bit when they get close to the star they orbit. When this happens, the water evaporates and gets blown away by the solar wind - which we see as the comet's tail.


Does water in a jar evaporate faster in sun or shade?

Water in a jar will evaporate faster in the sun compared to being in the shade. The heat from the sun increases the kinetic energy of water molecules, causing them to evaporate more quickly. In the shade, the cooler temperature slows down the rate of evaporation.
