❄️ Why is ice made from boiling water clear, but ice from normal water is cloudy?
1️⃣ What is inside normal water?
- Normal water has air bubbles, dust, and tiny minerals.
- You can’t see them easily, but they are there.
2️⃣ What happens when we boil water?
- Boiling water pushes the air out.
- The tiny air bubbles escape as steam.
- After boiling, the water has much less air inside.
3️⃣ What happens when water freezes?
- When water freezes, it turns into ice.
- If air and dirt are inside the water,
they get trapped inside the ice. - Trapped air makes ice look white or cloudy.
4️⃣ Why ice from boiled water is clear?
- Boiled water has less air.
- So when it freezes, nothing gets trapped.
- Light passes through easily → clear ice ✨
🧊 Simple comparison
| Water type | Air inside | Ice look |
|---|---|---|
| Normal water | More air | Cloudy |
| Boiled water | Less air | Clear |
🧠 Easy way to remember
Air bubbles make ice cloudy
No bubbles make ice clear
🧪 Fun home experiment (with adult help)
- Boil water and let it cool.
- Freeze it in an ice tray.
- Freeze normal water in another tray.
- Compare the ice cubes!
