Many clouds are made up of ice crystals because they are at high altitudes. The higher the altitude, the colder the temperature. Cirrus clouds are primarily made out of ice crystals, since they are located high in the atmosphere.
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.
Clouds are made of tiny water droplets or ice crystals that have condensed from water vapor in the air. The water droplets or ice crystals gather together to form visible clouds that we see in the sky.
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.
dew point temperature, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into water droplets or ice crystals. These condensed water droplets or ice crystals then come together to form cumulus clouds.
Snow sticks together due to the microscopic ice crystals on the surface of the individual snowflakes. When the crystals come into contact, they form bonds called "intermolecular forces," which freeze together to create a cohesive structure. This allows snowflakes to stick together and form larger clumps or snowballs.

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.
You could not make snowballs from ice of any kind ... or not good snowballs anyway.
it takes the sugar crystals and causes them to form together on the stick/string.
A snowflake is made up of many individual ice crystals or droplets that combine and stick together as they fall through the atmosphere. The exact number of droplets can vary, but generally, each snowflake is estimated to contain thousands to millions of ice crystals.
cohesion the property of particles of the same substance to attract each other
Vapor deposition (Diffusional growth) - The vapor pressure over an ice crystal is much lower than that over a liquid droplet. Because atmospheric properties tend to move from regions of higher pressure to regions of lower pressure, water vapor surrounding liquid droplets tends to diffuse towards the ice crystals and deposit on them. This creates a deficit of water vapor above the droplet, which evaporates to make up for it. The newly evaporated water vapor also diffuses to the ice crystal, so that the ice crystal grows at the expense of the water droplet Accretion - As ice particles fall through the cloud at a higher velocity than cloud droplets, it collides and collects the supercooled droplets, which freeze upon contact with the crystal. The collected droplets are known as rime. Aggregation - Ice crystals falling through the cloud can collide with each other and stick together. This process is particularly efficient at temperatures near 0C, because the thin liquid water coating that forms on the partially melted crystals can act as an adhesive between the crystals.
Ice crystals don't precipitate. Precipitation of crystals happens when you create a supersaturated solution, and you do THAT by heating a solvent, adding enough solute to make a saturated solution at that temperature, filtering out the undissolved solute, and letting the solution cool. Ice crystals form.
no Ice particles fall from the sky but Ice crystals form on the ground.
Drops of rain form when water evaporates and turns into water vapor. While it is in the sky it condenses, and becomes water again. Then the water falls in droplets. If it is cold enough, these drops can also turn into sleet, hail, or snow.
