The answer to this question most likely has to do with the albedo of crayon (wax, charcoal, etc). Albedo is the extent to which an object diffusely reflects light from light sources, measured as a ratio. The lower the albedo, the more light/energy is absorbed into the object. Since darker colored objects absorb more energy, the albedo of a darker crayon is probably lower than the albedo of a lighter crayon. This means the darker crayon, while absorbing more energy, will heat up faster than the lighter crayon.
This is why snow around a tree typically melts much faster and earlier than snow with nothing around it -- because of the tree bark's albedo is much lower than snow/ice and thus can absorb more energy faster, and heat up whatever is around it quicker.

∙ 14y agowell actually it is my science fair projects but iam working on it right now........ but here is what i think............ i think yes because if a crayon is dark it might not take a lnog time for it to mel but it the crqaoyn is lite it is gonan go very quick because of the colors

Does pepper on ice affect the melting rate of normal ice?
If you mean black ground pepper, that you get from a pepper shaker, yes, it would affect the melting rate of ice - not because of its flavor (the hot taste is not the same as a hot temperature) but because it is dark colored, and therefore absorbs light more easily than ice does, and will therefore warm up faster.
What is the constant in a experiment on melting rate of ice?
temperature
Does salt affect the melting of ice or not?
Adding Salt to water will lower its melting point by about 5 degrees Centigrade. When it is cold outside, you spread salt over the roads so that even if the water is at -3 degrees, it will won't freeze.
Does carbonic acid affect your pulse rate?
yes
Does temperature difference does not affect heat transfer rate?
yes
How does color affect the rate of ice melting?
The polar ice melt is affecting the melting rate of ice as it is rising the level of the seawater which may lead to submergence of land.
Does the color of ice affect its melting rate?
Yes it will because darker colours absorb more heat rays.
Does the color of crayon its melting rate?
well actually it is my science fair projects but iam working on it right now........ but here is what i think............ i think yes because if a crayon is dark it might not take a lnog time for it to mel but it the crqaoyn is lite it is gonan go very quick because of the colors
Does color effect which an ice cube melts?
The rate in which an ice cube melts is dependent on the temperature of the outside air. The hotter it is the faster ice will melt. The color of a cup or dish will not affect the melting process.
Do colored candles burn at the same rate as white candles?
The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. Color is not the dominant factor. Wind and temperature will also affect the rate of burning.
Does color affect the rate which melting a ice cube?
darker colors absorb heats and thermal energy and allows the ice to melt faster.the clear ice reflects which makes it slower to melt.
Does color affect the evaporation rate of water?
no, water does not have an affect on water because the water itself is plain. (clear) having color added to it will change the color, but not the rate of the evaporation. ( GOOD LUCK!)
How does the color of a candle affect the rate at which it burns?
YES
Does the color of birthday candles affect its burn rate?
no
How does water temperature affect the melting rate of ice?
the hotter the water the faster the ice will melt
Discusion for does salt affect the melting rate of ice?
Salt lower the freezing point of ice.
What the materials you need for the question does color affect the rate in which ice cubes melt?
No...? why would color affect ice. Color is a physical property.
