To know about why ice stick to your skin we have to first know about the formation of ice. On the outer level we say that when we cool the water to certain temperature it turns to ice but on molecular basis it is something different.
We know that the water (H2O) is made up of [...]

This is the time of interglacial period through which we are going. During this period ice melts form the polar caps and the rate of melting has extended from its average time. The ice over the arctic region is melting which comprises of 3% of the total ice present on the earth and other is [...]

Density of an object is increased with the cooling, but this is not completely applicable in the case of fresh water. It is densest at four degree Celsius and if water is further cooled its density keeps on decreasing. So a substance having less density or less mass per unit volume than other substances in [...]
