Question

Theory on particle physics: Is it possible for water to form ice as it comes closer to center of something massive, example earth's centre?

Answer 3

i dont understand your question much

Answer 4

okay, I ask if water can form ice because of gravity

Answer 5

very, very big gravity

Answer 6

as far as i understand density increases as gravity increases.

Answer 7

so atoms gets pushed closer to each other

Answer 8

right?

Answer 9

well ice is less dense than water

Answer 10

i guess it's no then. thanks .

Answer 11

i think pressure is going to effect the state of the water more than gravity

Answer 12

but presure is some sort of prduct of gravity. No gravity - atoms scatter to natural distance one from another as they would be in vacuum.

Answer 13

because there is no force making them to colide with each other.

Answer 14

i kinda get what your saying

Answer 15

each it's just theory, i kind of have lots of gaps in it, so i want to make sure whether i understand physics correctly
Anyway, I believe that at some state as atoms of water are kept at really small distance one from each other, they should form solid object, right?

Answer 16

well the extra pressure will heat the water

Answer 17

so something like nuclear fussion happen?

Answer 18

that would take an entire plannet of H2O

Answer 19

so i guess it's not possible to form ice out of water using gravity force, thanks again.

Answer 20

yeah, i dont think it is possible. but im not entirely sure.
