what is the melting point of ice?

Verified Answer

The melting point of ice is 0°C (zero degrees Celsius) or 273.15 K (Kelvin) at standard atmospheric pressure (1 atmosphere).

At this temperature, ice changes from its solid state to liquid water. During the melting process, the temperature remains constant until all the ice has melted, even though heat is being absorbed.

Key Values:

  • 0°C = Melting point of ice

  • 273.15 K = Melting point in Kelvin

  • 32°F = Melting point in Fahrenheit

In simple terms, ice starts turning into water when its temperature reaches 0°C under normal atmospheric conditions.
