It all has to do with air. Objects get their color by absorbing or reflecting different wavelengths of light. For instance, a banana absorbs all wavelengths of light except yellow, which it reflects back to your eye. White is the result of reflection of all colors. Snow and snowflakes are ice crystals mixed with air molecules. The air gaps between crystals, along with the crystals' complex shapes, bounces the light beams around so much that all the wavelengths eventually get reflected out, giving it a white color. Meanwhile, ice has very little air between the frozen water, allowing the light to pass through with minimal reflection -- although thick ice will eventually absorb the red colors, giving it a blue tinge.
Snow does not have a perfectly equal absorption though, red light is absorbed slightly better, giving it a blue hue. You can see this when you look at snow in the shadow.

∙ 15y agoA snowflake is white because it doesn't absorb any of the color spectrum. Because of this the light reflected still contains all of the colors and is viewed as white. If a snowflake were to absorb even one color, then it would be a completely different color

∙ 15y agoyou need: * 3-5 pieces of glass, clear. no color * a water glass (must be made of glass). original cylinder shape, thick. * magnifier(optional) * CLEAR tape. (gift wrap kind, not whitish scotch original) experiment 1: take one piece of clear glass and place it on a flat surface. observe. take another piece and set it on top. observe, and so on.you will notice that the flat surface underneath the glass starts to get harder to see as you add more glass. it turns white. experiment 2: look at the bottom of the drinking glass. the glass is so thick, that it is hard to see clearly through. experiment 3: stick a piece of tape to another, then another, and so on. every time you add a piece, it is harder to see through.
