There are three main types of matter. There are liquids, solids and gases. Matter contains atoms (things that are so small that cannot be seen by the naked eye). Atoms make the world go round and are in everything. The atoms in gases are spread apart and are full of energy. The atoms in liquid are still got lots of energy but are more compact. The atoms in solids are basically touching each other and hardly move (they basically only vibrate).
When water turns to ice it freezes. The temperature water turns to ice is zero degrees Celsius. When water turns to ice the atoms slow down and become more compact.
Some examples of ice are hail, icebergs and ice-blocks. When the temperature of the clouds goes to zero degrees Celsius or lower the rain turns to hail. Icebergs and ice-blocks also gothrough the same process.
In conclusion water is a liquid and turns to ice which is a solid when the temperature is zero
degrees Celsius or lower.
