The most frequently asked question in the $p-$adic lattice models of statistical mechanics is that whether a root of a polynomial equation belongs to domains $\mathbb{Z}_p^{*}, \ \mathbb{Z}_p\setminus\mathbb{Z}_p^{*}, \ \mathbb{Z}_p, \ \mathbb{Q}_p\setminus\mathbb{Z}_p^{*}, \ \mathbb{Q}_p\setminus\left(\mathbb{Z}_p\setminus\mathbb{Z}_p^{*}\right), \ \mathbb{Q}_p\setminus\mathbb{Z}_p, \ \mathbb{Q}_p $ or not. However, this question was open even for lower degree polynomial equations. In this paper, we give local descriptions of roots of cubic equations over the $p-$adic fields for $p>3$.
