Is there a weight difference between snow and water?
Yes, because the snow has more mass. One gram of water will turn into one gram of snow -- there is no mass lost or gained by the conversion. (OK, maybe a little because of movement... relativity and all that stuff that is not yet measurable. Anyway, relativistically speaking, the snow would have a smaller mass because it moves slower.)
Why wearing a white shirt in the sun makes you feel cooler than wearing a black shirt?
The color black absorbs heat and white reflect it off. You will feel cooler with light colors on. Snow covered patches of ground warm slower than darker patches.
What is the Physical properties of coal and snow?
Water
Is water turning to snow a chemical or physical change?
Changes of state are physical changes.
What is the difference between a snow flake and a water droplet?
the difference between a snowflake and a water droplet is that a water droplet is a snowflake before and after it is actualy formed!!
Why does snow reflect more light than sand?
Because of the atomic stucture the sand will absorb more energy than it refects.
What causes snow to sparkle in the sun?
Sometimes the snow can reflect light to your eyes that make you see the snow sparkle.
How much sunlight does snow reflect?
The ability of the substance to reflect the sunlight from their surface is known as "Albedo". it values may vary between 0 to 1. if the body does not reflect sunlight its value may be taken as zero. if the body reflects complete sunlight its value may taken as 1. for example if the bodys albedo is 0.23 then we can say that 23 percent of sunlight is being reflected. For snow the albedo is 0.83 percent and for water it is 0.03 percent that means 83 percent of sunlight is reflected from snow , where as water reflects 3 to 4 percent of sunlight. Hence snow reflects more sunlight
What objects reflect almost all of the light?
Mirrors do an excellent job. White painted surfaces also have a higher albedo. Ice, frost, and snow reflect a lot of light.
What are snow flurries?
Snow showers are when it snows a pretty decent amount for a certain length of time. It is much more than just flurries.
Should you use your high beams when you are driving in fog or snow?
Use your low beams or fog lights. Fog or snow will reflect high beam light back in your eyes making it more difficult to see.
Why is it so bright outside after dark when it snows?
When it snows, the snowflakes reflect light, making the surroundings appear brighter even at night. The white color of snow also helps to bounce back more light, increasing visibility in the darkness. This phenomenon is known as "snow glow" or "reflected light."
What is the relevance of Why is Snow White and water transparent in chemistry?
Water is liquid. Snow is crystalline. The crystalline structure of snow reflects white light. Water is transparent.
Does the snow in snow world harm the atmosphere -hyderabad?
no as it is made out of mineral water and is light as natural ice
Why are we not able to see ourselves in a smooth blanket of snow?
Because the snow is not simply a flat sheet. It's composed of billions of crystals - which reflect, refract and diffuse light in all directions at once.
Why should you not use high-beam headlights in snow heavy rainor fog?
Because the light can reduce visibility and reflect back into the driver's eyes as heavy rain, fog or snow falls.
What is responsible for reflecting light back into the atmosphere?
The characteristic of being able to reflect light is called albedo. Substances with high albedo are able to reflect more light. The major substances with high albedo that reflect light back into space from Earth are: clouds, snow, ice caps, aerosols etc. In fact, many environmentalists are pushing the "White Roof Movement" that encourages the painting of roofs white in order to increase the albedo in urban areas, hopefully decreasing the urban heat island effect.
