Answer 1

Water has air dissolved in it. If you freeze it in your freezer, the outside freezes first, trapping the air in the middle. When the last of the water in the middle freezes the dissolved air is forced out, leaving a cloud of tiny bubbles in the ice.

The factory ice is frozen from the bottom up. There’s always a layer of liquid water at the top as the ice block grows from below, so no air is trapped inside.
