What factor in clouds control snowflake formation?
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.
What causes a halo around the moon?
The moon itself has no halo.The apparent halo is caused by zillions of small ice crystals in our atmosphere. The halo is nothing but moonlight shining through and reflecting from these ice crystals.
Why do clouds exist?
Because we have a thing called an atmosphere. Air pressure, temperature, and other factors condense water particles that form small water droplets that form tiny ice crystals that group up with other ice crystals that form what we see as clouds.
What are air masses of tiny water droplets or ice crystals?
Clouds are air masses filled with tiny water droplets or ice crystals.
What are cirrus made out of?
Cirrus clouds are made of ice crystals that have been carefully form over time
What is Diamond Dust?
small crystals of ice.
What is the scientific definition of frost?
Deposit of infinitesimal ice crystals fashioned when water steam condenses at warmth lower chilly.
Are cumulus clouds made of small ice crystals?
no cirrus clouds are.
Why does liquid nitrogen produce smother ice cream?
The ice crystals in the ice cream form very rapidly due to the intense cooling effect of the liquid nitrogen. They do not have time to grow large. The "grit" you taste in cheap ice cream is made of large ice crystals. small crystals = no grit
What is a ten letter word for small ice crystals that fall from the sky?
snowflakes
What is precipitation in the form of small white ice crystals that form inside clouds?
Hail
Why are clouds that form at the top of the troposphere made of ice crystals rather than drops of water?
Clouds are made up of very small water droplets which are suspended in the air. If the air continues to cool, the small droplets will join together to form larger droplets or ice crystals. Eventually the weight of the water drops or ice crystals may be heavy enough to make them fall as precipitation(rain, snow, hail or ice). The higher clouds which don't produce precipitation are formed of the crystals while the lower clouds which produce precipitation are formed of water droplets which are the melted crystals.
Why are some clouds formed from waterdroplets while others are made up of ice crystals?
Clouds are made up of very small water droplets which are suspended in the air. Usually water droplets are in the warm section of the cloud, if the air continues to cool, the small droplets will join together to form larger droplets or ice crystals. The ice crystals are usually higher and as you may know the higher you go the colder it gets so that's how ice crystals are formed.
Are ice particles and ice crystals the same thing?
no Ice particles fall from the sky but Ice crystals form on the ground.
Which cloud is made of ice crystals?
Cirrus clouds are primarily made out of ice crystals.
Are ice crystals example of freezing?
It depends. If the ice crystals are forming, then yes, the water is freezing. If you just mean ice crystals, just there not doing anything, then no.
What are small cottony rows of cloud tufts that are made of ice crystals and found at high elevations?
cirrocumulus
