We’ve all used regular ice, but have you ever heard of dry ice? Unlike regular ice, which is simply frozen water, dry ice is actually solid carbon dioxide (CO2). At a temperature of -109.3°F (-78.5°C), dry ice is much colder and doesn’t melt into a liquid, but instead sublimates directly into a gas. ❄️💨
This unique property makes dry ice perfect for creating fog effects in movies, or for cooling items in a more extreme way than regular ice. Ever seen that spooky fog in haunted houses? That’s dry ice at work!
⚡ Pro Tip: Handle dry ice with caution! Due to its extremely cold temperature, it can cause burns similar to a heat burn if touched directly with skin.
