      This has to do with energy.. warmer objects have more energy so when you take the ice cream out of the freezer it starts to absorb energy. This energy makes the ice cream molecules vibrate (these are very small it is not something we can see) and this warms up the ice cream and so it starts to melt.

      They melt because they are liquids at room temperature. Before they were ice cream they were liquids, and they become ice creams freezing them. When they are no longer frozen they melt. The same happens with ice cubes, they are just water that has been frozen. Well ice creams are not water but a mix of milk, fat, flavours and air.

      in the same way that an ice cube turns to water…
