Snow crystals form when water vapor condenses directly into ice. This happens in the clouds.
Snowflakes and snow crystals are both formed from frozen water vapor, but they have different structures. Snowflakes are clusters of snow crystals that stick together as they fall from the sky. Snow crystals are individual ice crystals that form in the atmosphere. Snowflakes can have a variety of shapes and sizes, while snow crystals typically have a hexagonal shape.

Snow is an example of a precipitation in the form of ice crystals that falls from the atmosphere.
it forms from snow and ice come together and colliade
It turns out that "pure" snow is made up of snowflakes which are made up of from 2 to 200 separate snow crystals. Snow crystals are crystals that have formed around tiny bits of dirt that have been carried up into the atmosphere by the wind. So snow crystals are really soil particles that have been dressed up in ice.
Yes. Snow is a form of frozen precipitation.
Frost is a form of deposition and requires a surface (on the ground) to form its ice crystals. Snow can only form in clouds - the ice crystals grow around condensation nuclei and then fall to the ground. Frost is confined to the ground.
