Why does water go brown in a snow globe?

water goes brwn in a snow globe because of the acids around it. there are many causes that acids can make. this also includes acid rain. if you want to know more please do not hesitate to write back. i have done this question once before. Thank You Sally Graham More information: sometimes the items placed inside a globe can discolor the water. It may be rust, or the tint from an object that colors the water brown. It is unlikely that anyone would use acid as the liquid in the snow globe, but rather over time, metal items discolor and/or rust and the water will change as a result. Thank you Sam Sofast


What is the snow globe liquid?

Original answer: The liquid in snow globes is water and anti-freeze. They were once filled with just water but if in cold surrounding would freeze and bust. Although it helped with that problem but the antifreeze is poisonous so keep away from children and animals if its cracked. Improved answer: Snow globes which are made overseas may use a combination of antifreeze and water to prevent freezing. Snow globes made in the United States are held to higher standards and typically use liquids which are safe for consumption (although not the intended use), should a globe break and the liquid be tasted by children or pets. (There are very few snow globe manufacturers in the United States, but there are maybe one or two left.) Artisans who make individual globes may use water and glycerin to slow down the effect of falling "snow" but these are likely to freeze and must be stored, displayed and shipped where there is no danger of freezing.

How do you get bottom off snow globe?

How to remove the bottom, or base off a snow globe depends on how it was made. If it is a snow globe with a solid base, maybe wood, and a glass globe top, you can try using a warm (not hot) blow dryer on it to loosen the glass from the base, then use a knife to separate the glass and base. However, USUALLY, the base and globe cannot be easily separated. In order to repair a snow globe that has leaked or has an air bubble, the glass globe will be broken and then replaces. Some globe designs (Disney, for example) use a design that seals around the globe and that resign pieces prevents the globe from being removed or replaced without breaking the figurine which holds it.


Is the inside of a snow globe poisonous?

Some manufacturers put antifreeze in the snow globe liquid to prevent the liquid from freezing during shipping. Antifreeze could cause damage to the kidneys. Do not allow children to drink the liquid from snow globes. Pets can be poisoned as well, so keep them away if a snow globe breaks. Additional information: Snow globes made in the United States after 2000 will typically use a safer liquid. They do not use anti-freeze which is toxic to pets and humans.

Can snow globes freeze?

yes, IF the liquid inside them is water, the globe can freeze and break. Many snow globes or snow domes made overseas and shipped to the U.S. use a combination of water and antifreeze. These items are classified as "collectibles" or home decoration, not toys, so they are legal to enter through customs. The very few United States manufacturers of snow globes do NOT use antifreeze, but use a high-grade liquid that does not freeze until as cold as 45 degrees below, is clear and non-toxic. But in regular shipping and use, the US-made globes do not freeze as they do not use water alone.


Snow globe liquid in dogs beard is it harmful?

If the snow globe was not made in the United States, there is a good chance the liquid may contain anti-freeze, which is very harmful and toxic to pets and small children. Discard the broken snow globe* and take care that the pet does not ingest any liquid. Snowglobes made in the United States (e.g., www.snowglobecentral.com) use a non-toxic, foodgrade liquid, and are safer. *there are companies who will repair your snowglobe and switch out to a safer liquid. This may cost more than the original globe, but is worth it if the snow globe has sentimental value.
