Ice is made up of water molecules in a crystalline structure, with each molecule consisting of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O).
Ice forms when water molecules lose energy and come together in a rigid, hexagonal structure due to freezing temperatures.
Yes, ice has been found on other planets and moons in our solar system, such as Mars and some of Jupiter's moons. It is also believed to exist on other planets outside of our solar system.
Ice floats on water because it is less dense than liquid water. As water freezes, its molecules form a lattice-like structure, creating more space between them and causing the ice to be less dense than the liquid water.
Yes, ice has many uses beyond just cooling drinks. It is used in sports to create ice rinks and to cool athletes during games. It is also used in the preservation and transportation of food and in medical treatments for inflammation and pain relief.
