What are the differences between snow globes and water globes, and how do they work?
Snow globes and water globes are similar in that they both contain liquid and objects inside a sealed glass dome. The main difference is that snow globes have white particles that resemble snowflakes, while water globes do not. Snow globes work by shaking them to create a snowfall effect, as the particles float in the liquid. Water globes work by swirling the liquid inside to create a calming or mesmerizing effect, without any snow-like particles.
Can snow globes freeze?
yes, IF the liquid inside them is water, the globe can freeze and break. Many snow globes or snow domes made overseas and shipped to the U.S. use a combination of water and antifreeze. These items are classified as "collectibles" or home decoration, not toys, so they are legal to enter through customs. The very few United States manufacturers of snow globes do NOT use antifreeze, but use a high-grade liquid that does not freeze until as cold as 45 degrees below, is clear and non-toxic. But in regular shipping and use, the US-made globes do not freeze as they do not use water alone.
