Does snow form from low clouds?
Snow is frozen raindrops.
Do you need clouds for it to snow?
Yes, clouds are necessary for snow to form. Snow forms when water vapor in the clouds condenses into ice crystals and falls to the ground. Without clouds, there would be no source of moisture for snow to develop.
Can cirrus clouds form snow?
Cirrus clouds are high enough to be at a low enough temperature for the water droplets to form into ice crystals. However, Cirrus clouds are not precipitation clouds, so no snow or rain can fall from them. The clouds that can cause snow to fall in the right conditions are Nimbostratus and Cumulonimbus clouds.
When do snow crystals form?
Snow crystals form when water vapor condenses directly into ice. This happens in the clouds.
Are snow cloud's rain cloud's that have frozen?
Not really. In the winter, whether it's raining or snowing, there is snow in the clouds - if it's raining at the surface that means the snow has melted before it reached the ground. There are different processes for the formation of rain and snow in a cloud, but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at a cloud whether it contains rain or snow.
Scientific name for snow clouds?
Nimbostratus clouds are the scientific name for snow clouds. These clouds are typically thick and gray, producing continuous precipitation in the form of snow. Nimbostratus clouds are associated with prolonged periods of snowfall.
Are clouds required for snow?
Yes, clouds are essential for snow to form. Snow forms when water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets on tiny particles in the atmosphere within clouds. These droplets then freeze into ice crystals, which grow and eventually fall to the ground as snow.
What type of cloud does snow form in?
cumulus clouds in the winter
What is white and falling from clouds in the form of ice crystals?
snow
When do crystals form?
Snow crystals form when water vapor condenses directly into ice. This happens in the clouds.
How does a snowdrift form?
During a snow storm, a combination of snow and wind together form dunes, or snow drifts. Snow drifts are mounds of snow that build up during a storm.
When bits of ice crystals form in clouds they may fall to the ground as?
Cocaine.
