Think about the difference between thermal energy and temperature. How might the melting icicles gain energy without changing temperature. Ok someone pls answer this BY TM.

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

Hope this helped you

what was the answer?

less than one you can't create energy
