Water becomes snow when its temperature reaches or falls below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, water molecules slow down and form solid ice crystals, which we see as snowflakes. The process of water turning into snow is known as deposition, where water vapor in the air directly transitions into solid ice without passing through the liquid phase.

What happens to water vapor when the air cools?

When the air cools, water vapor may undergo condensation and turn into liquid water or ice depending on the temperature. This process forms clouds, fog, or precipitation, such as rain or snow.


How does water change into snow?

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. :)


When water vapor freezes directly into ice crystals what is formed?

When water vapor freezes directly into ice crystals, it forms frost. This process typically occurs on surfaces that are below freezing temperature, such as grass or windows. Frost can create a delicate and intricate pattern, especially on colder mornings.


How does snow happen?

Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals. These ice crystals then combine to form snowflakes. When these snowflakes become heavy enough, they fall to the ground as snow.


Is snow melting salt bad for the environment?

Yea its really bad for the environment because when you put road salt on clean snow, the snow becomes polluted. Polluted snow melts faster than clean snow because of lower albedo. After the polluted snow melts it goes into our water source and then it becomes into water pollution which becomes a bigger problem. Also, it can give plants and sometimes trees salt burn just by it being in the air and also when the snow melts the water carries the salt in to our fresh water lakes and rivers

What happens to the water vapour in the air when the air temperature cools?

When air temperature cools, the water vapor in the air may condense to form clouds or fog if the air becomes saturated with moisture. If the temperature drops further, the water vapor may further condense into liquid water droplets and fall as precipitation, such as rain or snow.


When the snow melts what does it become?

When snow melts, it becomes water. The process of snow melting is called ablation, where snow transitions from its solid state to liquid form as it warms up and the temperature rises above freezing.


Does snow get you wet?

Yes because when the snow on your melts, it becomes water and water makes you wet


Why do crystals of snow formed from a snow making maching even though the temperature of the mixture of water and air may be well above the freezing temperature of water?

The water molecules expand when they are blown out. When this happens, the mixture turns into snow.


Does water condense to make snow?

Yes, when water vapor in the atmosphere becomes cold enough, it condenses into tiny ice crystals to form snow. These ice crystals can then grow and accumulate to create the fluffy snowflakes we see falling from the sky.


What is snow and how is it produced?

Snow is frozen water vapor. It is produced when water vapor in the air is turned solid by the freezing temperature.


What is the answer to temperature at which water becomes a solid?

When ice is warmed to room temperature it becomes the familiar water In this state water is a?

Ice is a solid and when it melts it becomes water, which is a liquid.


Why is snow so cold?

Because for water to turn into snow it needs to cool down to 0 degrees celsius or less. If snow becomes warmer it will no longer be snow.
