Can the temperature of ice go below freezing?

Just wondering if my plants that are covered in snow are now at a steady 32 degrees.

Depending on the atmosphric pressure. Like boiling water is not 212F at way above sea level.

Water freezes at 32 degrees F.

That doesn't mean that it can't get any colder from there.

yes.

if you dont believe me you should google or ask.com it. Ice can go as low as 360 degrees below zero at atmospheric pressure.

Yes, if it gets cold enough it comes around full circle and starts warming back up.

Maybe you should go to school instead of staying home playing on the internet?

Does my North Face jacket protect me against that temperature?

Ironically that ice is protecting your plants from subzero temperatures, as it is protecting any cold bloodied insect or reptiles such as snakes, turtles; or cold blooded anything else critter. It is actually a thermo barrier. Come spring cold blooded creatures will emerge and folks will say: "How da hell did these little animals live through the winter." Nature is just great!

I am curious. Why can't ice reach -459.67F (give or take a little bit for atomic motion)?

0 K ?

oh it can if your using lorentz tranforms while using einstine's time substitution (to avert telescoping series solution difficulties, let time not be held as the non-constant instead of) while going back in time it's all shrinking! they proved it on the last 5 mission to mars. there are 5 mission in current action right? we still need to get to the moon though !

how that gets minerals out of the ground, how 7 rocket launches don't waste minerals, no one is too sure yet. but there's allot of talk about "bringing the bacon home from mars". they may have mentioned gov paychecks.

if you mean brownian motion

wikipedia has an initiative they are try to arrange all know important experiments and outcomes, one of the first of which is brownian's

so when one asks "how does the damn book know this?" one can find what is the source of knowlege

they need help. contribute.

if you have a machine that measures helium or bonds with balanced dipole moment tell someone ! they are always looking !

Errr.. Generally you want to find a telescoping series since it has a finite number of terms.

Solids can be cooled to nearly the ambient temperature - snow/ice are solids. The ground is warmer than the air (below the surface) and these solids will act to insulate the plants from the air proportional to the thickness and density of the solid.

The answer to your question depends on several variables.
