Does snow freeze in the cloud or does it freeze in the air ONCE it comes out of the cloud?
All snow begins as snow through what is called the Bergeron process. Water droplets within a cloud get drawn to the tiny ice crystals in the cloud due to their lower vapor pressure. In doing so, they diffuse onto the ice crystals, causing them to grow. When they become large enough, they fall out of the cloud as snowflakes.
Can thunderstorms form on cold days?
If a big thunderstorm forms on a snow day, then it would be a blizzard, not a storm because the water drops that the thunderstorm cloud drops will freeze into ice crystal shards and snowflakes, resulting in a snowstorm and/or sleet.
What is an example of a gas changing directly to a solid?
Examples of a gas changing directly into a solid (deposition) - Water vapor in a cloud changing into solid snowflakes. Water vapor in the air turning directly to frost on any sub-freezing surfaces.
How can moisture change weather?
The amount of mouisture in a cloud may increase causing it to release precipitation more rapidly. The amount of mouisture in a cloud may increase causing it to release precipitation more rapidly.
What is the definition of physical change of matter?
one example of a physical change of matter is an ice cube melting into a puddle of water. Physically, it looks different; but, if you put the water back into the freezer, it's still an ice cube! Anytime an object changes appearance or shape without becoming a new object, it is undergoing a physical change. Physical change is a reversible change that affects the physical property of form but not the identity of matter. Physical change, is in comparison to a chemical change. A chemical change is one in which the chemical composition, not just the physical characteristics, of the substance changes through a chemical reaction (e.g. burning a piece of paper).
Do snowflakes forming in a cloud conserve mass?
No
Is a cloud changing shape a chemical change?
No. it is not. It is a physical change.
Is a cloud floating across the sky a chemical change?
No.
When a cloud forms in the sky is that a physical or chemical change?
A physical change; more water vapour has joined the cloud, making it thicker and less able to allow light through.
What happens when snowflakes grow heavy inside a cloud?
they fall toward the ground. by khulood
Why are snowflakes hexagonal?
Not all are shaped as a hexagon. they are only hexagonal if they form in a very high cloud that is 32-35 Fahrenheit.

Snowflakes and hailstones were once water vapor describe what happens to the vapor to form snowflakes and hailstones?
Water vapor form snowflakes when the temperatures in the air are above freezing and the air should be unsaturated. The water vapor to create hailstones start inside a cumulonimbus cloud and super cooled liquid water are caught in a strong updraft. The cycle continues to increase the size of the hailstone, then eventually falls to the earth's surface.
What type of clouds are low puffy white clouds that can change into cumulonimbus cloud that can change into cumulonimbus cloud?
Cumulus
Why might a cloud type change and become another kind of cloud?
If local convection, or a pressure front, causes the cloud to change elevation, the water vapor will form into a different cloud type consistent with that altitude.
Where are chemical and energy found in the atom?
Chemical energy is stored in the electron cloud.
Is rain turning to sleet a physical or chemical change?
A physical change. It came from water and is still water.Physical - the water changes from a gas,water vapour, to a liquid, rain.
