Snow is ice.
Little ice crystals.
If it melts and refreezes it can become solid ice. Or if it forms big masses of snow then the pressure will fuse the snow crystals into solid ice.

How does water change into snow?
When water (or rain) is in an area of a temperature below freezing the molecules contract, or come together, as a reaction. This turns the water into a solid and it becomes snow. Hope that helped. :)
When water vapor freezes directly into ice crystals what is formed?
It becomes snow.
Is snow melting salt bad for the environment?
Yea its really bad for the environment because when you put road salt on clean snow, the snow becomes polluted. Polluted snow melts faster than clean snow because of lower albedo. After the polluted snow melts it goes into our water source and then it becomes into water pollution which becomes a bigger problem. Also, it can give plants and sometimes trees salt burn just by it being in the air and also when the snow melts the water carries the salt in to our fresh water lakes and rivers
How does snow happen?
We all know that as we go higher in the atmospherethe temperature decreases. Therefore the capability of air to hold the water vapour decreases and excess of water vapour gets collected in the air at a certain height. The air, now having too much water vapour, is said to be supersaturated. Under these conditions, the water vapour condenses on the dust particles present in the air. On further cooling, the water vapour gets converted into snow particles. Crystals of snow are formed by the combination of these particles. When the air cannot bear the weight of the crystals of snow, they fall down as snow flakes and get collected on the mountains.
How snow turns into glacier?
The snow freezes and becomes layer and soon becomes a glacier

When water freezes it becomes snow?
It becomes ice
When the snow melts what does it become?
When snow melts, it becomes water. The process of snow melting is called ablation, where snow transitions from its solid state to liquid form as it warms up and the temperature rises above freezing.
What happens to the water vapour in the air when the air temperature cools?
It becomes liquid (water/rain) or solid (snow/hail/sleet) and falls to the ground. Hope this helps :)
Does snow get you wet?
Yes because when the snow on your melts, it becomes water and water makes you wet
When water vapor freezes directly into ice crystals what is formed?
It becomes snow.
When water freezes directly into ice crystals?
It becomes snow
Why do crystals of snow formed from a snow making maching even though the temperature of the mixture of water and air may be well above the freezing temperature of water?
The water molecules expand when they are blown out. When this happens, the mixture turns into snow.
What determines if water is melting or freezing at 0 degrees Celsius?
if the temperature raises then water is melting (ice becomes water),if the temperature falls then it's freezing (water becomes ice)
What is snow and how is it produced?
Snow is frozen water vapor. It is produced when water vapor in the air is turned solid by the freezing temperature.

What are the water drops that fall at temperature below freezing?
Snow
