Question

Why does the weather become moderate in cold countries when the freezing of lakes and other water bodies starts?

Answer 1

1. Freezing is the process of converting to a solid state from a liquid state.
2. When water freezes it releases some amount of energy into the surrounding.
3. As we know $1kg$ of ice on meting absorbs $336000J$ of heat energy and $1kg$ of water to freeze will release $336000J$ of heat energy.
4. Therefore, when the freezing of lakes and other water bodies starts in cold countries every $1kg$ of water gives out $336000J$ of heat and temperature, of the atmosphere increases making the weather moderate.
