How does frost form on your windshield when the temperature does not reach the freezing mark?
Measuring the temperature at a frosted windshield will show that it did get to (or just under) the freezing point, even though the heat radiating up from the ground has kept the ambient air's temperature above freezing. Radiant heat from the ground and surrounding objects also plays a part in the side windows staying a bit warmer than the windshield who's surface is facing the sky (and falling cold air).

How do Mercury and Neptune differ in temperature?
Neptune can reach way below freezing and Mercury can reach way above burning.
How do freezing point and melting point relate?
The freezing point and melting point of a substance are the same temperature, known as the equilibrium melting point, at which the solid and liquid phases coexist in equilibrium. When a substance is cooling down, it will reach its freezing point temperature, causing it to solidify. Conversely, when a substance is heating up, it will reach its melting point temperature, causing it to liquefy.
Does it have to be freezing for it to snow?
No, it does not have to be freezing for it to snow. Snow can form when the air temperature is above freezing, as long as the higher atmosphere is cold enough for the snowflakes to remain frozen until they reach the ground.
Which water freezes first boiling water cold water or room temperature.?
Cold water would freeze the fastest because freezing is a physical change brought on by temperature change, and the temperature of cold water is closer to freezing temperature than boiling or room temperature water. Therefore, it would take less time to reach freezing temperature.
How does less water freeze faster?
There's less water, it takes less time for all if it to reach freezing temperature.
How do you tell how deep the frost is in the ground?
One way to determine the depth of frost in the ground is by using a frost probe or a soil thermometer. Insert the probe into the ground until you reach the frozen layer. You can also observe the water content of the soil and the temperature fluctuations to estimate the depth of frost.
How can liquid be turned into a solid?
the solid must reach its melting point which varies with every substance
The freezing point of helium is -272 degrees Celsius The original temperature of a sample of helium is 3 degrees Celsius how much must the temperature change to ensure that helium freezes?
The temperature must decrease by 275 degrees Celsius to reach the freezing point of helium at -272 degrees Celsius.
What forms instead of dew when temps reach 32 degrees Fahrenheit?
Ice crystals or frost.
How can additives be used to prevent water from freezing?
Additives can prevent water from freezing by lowering the freezing point of the water. This means that the water will need to reach a lower temperature before it turns into ice. Common additives include salt, antifreeze, and alcohol, which disrupt the formation of ice crystals in the water.
What tempateure does it snow?
The temperature in the clouds must be below freezing. If it is below freezing (32 Fahrenheit, 0 Celsius) all the way to the ground, snow will fall. If not, it will melt and reach the ground as rain, freezing rain, or sleet, depending on if it has time to refreeze. Snow can even fall if the temperature at the surface is a little above freezing if it doesn't have time to melt as it falls.
Is freezing to death an idiomatic expression?
It can be. Literally, freezing to death means that your body temperature drops so low that you cannot stay alive. However, many people use this as an exaggeration to mean that they are just cold. They might reach for a sweater and say "I'm freezing to death in here with that air conditioning blowing!"
