Water usually melts and freezes at 32Â°F (0Â°C) and boils at 212Â°F (100Â°C). The familiarity of water may make the melting points of other substances extreme by comparison. For example, the temperature at which carbon melts is 6,422Â°F (3,550Â°C), while mercury melts at -37.97Â°F (-38.87Â°C).
This question has already been answered, but is still open. If we ignore all ifs & buts, then the exact temperature for melting of snow/ice is 0.01 degree C or 32.02 degree F. While answering this, we should also remember that water has a triple point at this temperature, i.e., it can exist in all the three forms - solid, liquid and gas.
