Both require HEAT to change Temperature. Ice "sucks up" 80 times the Heat as water [per gram] from the Atmosphere.
I can't wait to use ICE to "suck up" the Heat from my Adult Beverage on a hot summer day.
Jim...
PS: We think cold is colder than our skin temperature.
Sorry...@jamesg161 I know this seems like nit picking.... I'm hung up on the semantics...it is just that this IS my thing. I teach general chemistry. Water has a specific heat of 1 calorie per gram for every degree Celsius temperature change. Water also has a heat of fusion of ~80 calories per gram (no temperature change). I get what you are trying to say ... Ice will suck up heat as it melts into water but water only sucks up heat if it is warmed. So zero degree water that stays at zero degrees does not suck up any heat. But a gram of zero degree water that is warmed to 80 degrees sucks up just as much heat as a gram of ice that melts and stays at zero degrees. Now when that same gram of water evaporates into water vapor, it sucks up 540 calories of heat. That is the big effect water has on our environment because it also gives that heat back when it condenses into dew at night. The lack of water is why deserts have such big temperature swings.
