What is Google Gravity?
Created by developer Mr.doob in 2009, Google Gravity makes the search page follow the laws of physics. When the Web Search API was discontinued in 2014, the original lost live search — so we restored it via emulation. Now you can search while everything falls. · Open the page and watch every element cascade to the bottom. Grab, toss, and play — the pieces collide and bounce with satisfying realism.

Gravity-induced ice compaction and subsurface porosity on icy moons - ScienceDirect
February 17, 2024 - To determine this coefficient, we fit our depth-dependent density model to existing data obtained from Earth-based measurements of ice cores in Antarctica and North Greenland. Our results yield a typical lengthscale for ice compaction on Earth of approximately ... m , consistent with the existing literature. We apply the model to Europa, which due to its lower gravity, has a typical ice compaction scale of

Water forms close to perfect spheres in zero gravity due to it's surface tension. There's a variety of videos of water in the space station. Ice, assuming you start with one of those balls of water, you have to ask first, would it freeze outside in (say, the temperature of the station is dropped below 0 C), or would it freeze inside-out, say you stick a cold tube in it to freeze it from the inside.

Freezing outside in, it would probobly be similar to an ice cube and like an ice cube, as water freezes it expands but the outside is frozen around it, so you would get cracking and the pushing out you get with ice cubs. Also, any dissolved gas in the water would get trapped as bubbles on the inside, giving it the whitish color we're used to ice cubes being. It would look like a spherical ice cube, with the normal buckles and cracks and the occasional ice spike - (see link below on ice spikes)

https://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/icespikes/icespikes.htm

Now, freezing it inside out, might look quite different as the ice could form crystals and you might get some more geometric shapes, as the non melted water would simply follow the pattern - I don't think you'd get snowflakes but you might get stars or triangles or spikes going in a few directions - that could actually be pretty cool looking.

This picture is artificially made, but freezing inside-out you might get something a little bit like this, probobly not so many spikes:

Also, freezing inside out any dissolved gas would be able to escape and you'd get clear ice, not whiteish ice, like ice used for carving, which is frozen from the bottom up.

scroll to the bottom for "clear ice": http://www.alcademics.com/2014/12/making-a-clear-ice-block-from-the-bottom-up.html

Similarly, ice wouldn't melt any different in Zero G, except that it wouldn't drip, the melting ice would form a sphere around the remaining ice.

And as pointed out above, sound doesn't change much in gravity. It changes in different density of the medium (for example, sound travels faster in water than air, and slower in high altitude), but assuming you have 1 ATM in a sealed container in space, sound would behave pretty much like it does on earth.

I don't understand well the science behind sound breaking glass, but I see no reason why that wouldn't work in Zero G just as well as 1G or 2 G. It wouldn't work nearly as well in 1/2 ATM and would probobly break the glass more easily in 2 ATM - I would think but gravity wouldn't have much effect. It's the structure of the glass that breaks from sound-waves, not the weight of the glass.

Sound will behave just like on earth provided it has a medium to travel through (Astronauts on the ISS can communicate normally; watch some videos)

Ice Sheets & Glaciers | Science – GRACE-FO
April 7, 2025 - Since 2002, the twin satellites of GRACE have made a complete map of Earth’s gravitational field every 30 days. Gravity is determined by mass. While most of the planet’s mass — its land and core — doesn’t move much in 30 days, its water and ice do, causing Earth’s gravity to shift.
