When water (or rain) is in an area of a temperature below freezing the molecules contract, or come together, as a reaction. This turns the water into a solid and it becomes snow. Hope that helped. :)

Is water turning to snow a chemical or physical change?

Changes of state are physical changes.


Is falling snow a chemical change?

No, falling snow is a physical change, not a chemical change. The process of snow falling is a result of water vapor in the atmosphere freezing into solid ice crystals, which is a physical change as it involves a change in state from gas to solid.

How the water cycle change because of change in matter?

Water gets converted into vapor state. It precipitates as rain or snow.


What is the physical change of carbon and snow disappears?

When carbon (soot) is applied to snow, it can absorb sunlight and cause the snow to melt faster. This is a physical change as the snow changes from its solid state to liquid water due to the presence of the carbon.


Why melting snow is a physical change?

Melting snow is a physical change because it involves a change in the state of water from a solid (ice/snow) to a liquid form, without altering the chemical composition of the water molecules. This change is reversible, as the melted snow can refreeze back into ice under appropriate conditions.


What happens to snow molecules during phase change?

During a phase change from solid snow to liquid water, the snow molecules absorb heat energy and gain enough kinetic energy to break their bonds and transition into liquid form. This process is called melting.

Does the earth weigh more after it snows?

No..Snow is frozen moisture, which means it was present as water before it became snow, so no change in weight is possible.
