Ice crystals or flakes that fall from the sky are commonly referred to as snow. Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals, which then cluster together and fall to the ground. The unique shapes and sizes of snowflakes depend on various atmospheric conditions during their formation. Snow can accumulate on the ground, creating winter landscapes and impacting weather and climate.
There isn't a factor in clouds that control snowflake formation.Wet snow: water droplets and ice crystals form. Ice crystals grow. Ice crystals combine and form snowflakes. Snowflakes begin to melt. Dry snow:water droplets and ice crystals form. Ice crystals grow. Ice crystals combine snowflakes. Snowflakes fall without melting.
This is precipitation, part of the water cycle.
The tiny ice crystals that fall from the sky are known as snowflakes. They form when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice, creating unique crystal structures as they descend through varying temperature and humidity conditions. Snowflakes can vary widely in shape and size, but they are generally composed of six-sided (hexagonal) patterns. When these crystals accumulate on the ground, they create snow cover.
White frozen water vapor is called snow. It forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals, which then fall to the ground as snowflakes.
Yes, clouds form when water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets or ice crystals. When these droplets or crystals become too heavy to stay aloft, they fall as precipitation, such as rain.
Hail.
Hail
Ice crystals that fall from the sky are called snowflakes.
Snowflakes are ice crystals that are simply aggregates of ice crystals that collect to each other as they fall toward the surface. Snowflakes usually fall during the winter season.
no Ice particles fall from the sky but Ice crystals form on the ground.
snow or hail
'Sleet' or 'hail'.
Formation of precipitation in cold clouds is called nucleation and involves the process of tiny water droplets freezing into ice crystals. These ice crystals grow in size as they collide with other ice crystals or water droplets, eventually becoming heavy enough to fall to the ground as precipitation.

Water changes into a solid inside a cloud through a process called nucleation, where water vapor condenses onto particles like dust or ice crystals to form ice crystals. These ice crystals then grow as they collide with other water droplets, eventually becoming large enough to fall as snow or hail.
a combination of rain and snow together is called "snaine"
