Ice on other planets

  • Water consists of hydrogen and oxygen that are plentiful in our solar system. Planets furthest from the Sun, like Jupiter and Saturn, have more water than planets closer to the Sun, like Earth, Mercury and Mars.
  • Planets of the outer solar system have several icy moons, such as Europa, which is covered by a layer of ice several kilometres thick.
  • Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, contains cryovolcanoes on its southern polar region. It spews ice instead of magma.

Using ice for food preservation

The most effective method to prevent food from spoiling was to preserve food with blocks of ice. In the early 1800s, ice harvesting was an industry where horse-drawn ice cutters pulled thick ice blocks from frozen lakes for use in insulated ice houses and cellars.

By the late 19th century, ...

Water is usually denser than ice

Water and ice are made of the same stuff. In water, molecules can fill in gaps and pack themselves more tightly, while ice is less dense and therefore able to float on water.

However, heavy water ice sinks. (Hydrogen atoms have a proton and a neutron, but only a proton in n...

Icebergs and glaciers

Icebergs and glaciers

Icebergs and glaciers often appear blueish green. This is because the air bubbles that accumulate on top of an iceberg get compressed, and more light penetrates the ice.

Longer colour wavelengths like red and yellow get absorbed by the ice, while shorter wavelengths of colo...
