Do ice melt to water in space?

Answer 1

It depends... Read this:

Empty space itself cannot have a temperature, unless you mean some
abstruse question about quantum vacuums.

However, if you put a physical object into space, it will reach a
temperature that depends on how efficiently it absorbs and emits
radiation and on what heating sources are nearby. For example, an
object that both absorbs and emits perfectly, put at the Earth's
distance from the Sun, will reach a temperature of about 280 K or 7 C.
If it is shielded from the Sun but exposed to interplanetary and
interstellar radiation, it reaches about 5 K. If it were far from all
stars and galaxies, it would come into equilibrium with the microwave
background at about 2.7 K.

Spacecraft (and spacewalking astronauts) often run a bit hotter than
280 K because they generate internal energy. Arranging for them to
run at the desired temperature is an important aspect of design.

Some people also consider the "temperature" of high energy particles
like the solar wind or cosmic rays or the outer parts of the Earth's
atmosphere. These particles are not in thermal equilibrium, so it's
not correct to speak of a single temperature for them, but their
energies correspond to temperatures of thousands of kelvins or higher.
Generally speaking, these particles are too tenuous to affect the
temperature of macroscopic objects. There simply aren't enough
particles around to transfer much energy. (It's the same on the
ground. There are cosmic rays going through your body all the time,
but there aren't enough to keep you warm if the air is cold. The air
at the Earth's surface is dense enough to transfer plenty of heat to
or from your body.)

Answer 2

Water, like all things, will "freeze" when a certain temperature or amount of particle energy is attained. This temperature for water is zero degrees on the Celsius scale. If the ice cube is put into an environment that has a higher heat energy than zero degrees Celsius, then the heat energy will go into the ice cube causing its internal energy level to raise and causing the cube to undergo a phase transition to liquid state.
So, ice will melt or water will freeze depending upon whether or not there is heat energy transfer in whatever environment the cube or water is in no matter where that environment is.
Someone is going to throw a flag on my play here and start sputtering about ambient pressure, but the question didn't ask about that, so I am not going to answer about it--no matter its relative significance.

Answer 3

yes sure it does because they are in touch with each other. and this causes the heat to exchange so it melts or if the ice is really cold than the water freezes.

Answer 4

if your talking about a vacuum, then water will boil a 100 degrees C degrees and freeze at - 100 degrees C. There is however, ice existing in our universe. A complete vacuum can be created on earth but does not exist in "space". good question!

Answer 5

No, ICE does not melt in space

Answer 6

I guess you mean our atmosphere space, right?
If so, yes and it really depends on the overall circumstance temperature. However, in outer space, no, because it is "bloody and icy" cold.

Answer 7

It depends on the temperature 'in space'.

Answer 8

why not it wil definitely melt only if the the he is suplied in the firm of radiation

Answer 9

No. It's too cold and even though of the pressuare change it is cold so it cannot affect it very much.

Answer 10

yes
