Ice is the solid form of water, occurring when water freezes at or below 0°C (32°F) under standard atmospheric conditions. It is a crystalline structure where water molecules are arranged in a hexagonal pattern, giving ice its unique properties such as lower density than liquid water, which is why it floats. Ice is found in a variety of natural environments, from glaciers and polar ice caps to frozen lakes and snow. Beyond Earth, ice is a common substance on other planetary bodies, including moons and comets. Ice plays a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate by reflecting sunlight and acting as a reservoir for fresh water.
