Frost usually forms when a surface cools through loss of heat to a temperature which is colder than the dewpoint of the air in contact (and around it) and the surface itself has a temperature which at or below freezing point. An example is a store freezer. The inside surface of the freezer is chilled below freezing point, when the freezer is opened the warming air containing moisture hits that surface and freezes

∙ 12y agoLike in spring and summer, we have dew, in winter if the dew freezes we have frost.
Also, when hot air and cold air meet, you get frost, or dew, I think.
1. is correct (most likely)
2. MIGHT be correct

∙ 9y agoThe formation of frost is not based on temperature alone. Frost is formed when the surface area of an object is below the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. However, the surface area does have to be below freezing (32 degrees F). The amount of water in the atmosphere, and the length of time that the surface area has been below the atmospheric temperature also play an important role.
Keep in mind, that cold air also sinks, while warm air rises, so low lying areas are more susceptible to frost. I know this is not necessarily a direct answer to the question, however, unfortunately there is not a set specific temperature, only a difference in two temperatures, one of the surface, and one of the atmosphere surrounding said surface.

What is the agent that causes frost wedging?
what agent causes frosting
How does frost form on the ground?
Frost forms in much the same way as dew forms. Frost usually forms when a surface cools through loss of infrared radiation to a temperature which is colder than the dewpoint of the air next to the surface, AND the temperature of that surface is below freezing.
Is frost heaving a type of mechanical weathering?
Yes, a second way freezing water causes mechanical weathering is by frost heaving
How does water vapor become frost?
When water vapor meets a surface that is below the freezing temperature and below the dew point, it turns into frost.
What Causes of mountain ranges destruction?
Erosion by wind, rain, frost and ice.
What causes frost in no frost refrigerators and reduces its efficacy?
Frost-free refrigerators (freezers, really) are frost free because they periodically raise their temperature above 32 degrees for a short amount of time and allow the frost to melt. The idea is that the food does not get warm enough to affect it due to it being for such a short time. What causes frost would be to turn this option off, or for it to be defective. It may be less energy efficient since the freezer is raising and lowering its temperature often.
What is frost shattered peaks?
Frost shattering is due to temperature fluctuations. During the day when the temperatures are warm, water settles into cracks in rocks. At night the water freezes and causes the cracks to widen. Eventually this causes pieces of rock to shatter from the main rock, this is called frost shattered peaks.
What is the agent that causes frost wedging?
what agent causes frosting
What causes frost nip?
Cold
What causes cracks in roads?
Frost heaves.
What temperature does frost occur?
3 celcious
When the temperature drops below freezing which phase change causes frost to form on the grass?
The phase change is called deposition: water vapor changes directly to ice.
Is frost bite life threatening?
Yes, it can be. The frost bitten areas will get gangrene in them and that is what causes death.
Weathering caused by?
winds,temperature,frost,water
What is the difference between frost free and auto defrost in a freezer?
A frost-free freezer regulates the temperature at a level to prevent the build-up of too much frost - so that it should never need defrosting by the user. The internal temperature is low enough to keep the food frozen - but not low enough to allow a build-up of frost. An auto-defrost freezer allows a layer of frost to build up over time - when it reaches a preset level - the appliance raises the temperature enough for the frost to melt (but maintains the working temperature to keep the food frozen).
What is the Definition of frost?
the definition of frost is:ice that has been deposited on a surface with a temperature that is below freezing. so yeah.
What is the killing frost for ragweed pollen?
A killing frost is when the temperature has dropped below 32 degrees at least once.
