It becomes snow.
Frost is the term used to describe tiny ice crystals that form when water vapor in the air condenses and freezes on surfaces near the ground.
Clouds are formed by ice crystals instead of liquid water drops when the temperature is below freezing in the upper atmosphere. At high altitudes, where temperatures are colder, water vapor freezes onto aerosols like dust and salt particles to form ice crystals, leading to the formation of cirrus clouds.
Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes directly into ice crystals, bypassing the liquid stage. These ice crystals then join together to form snowflakes. Precipitation occurs when these snowflakes fall to the ground.
condensation trails (contrails), which are formed when water vapor from the aircraft's engine exhaust combines with the cold air at high altitudes, causing the water vapor to condense into ice crystals.
Snow is formed when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals. These ice crystals then combine to form snowflakes as they fall to the ground. The intricate shapes and patterns of snowflakes are determined by factors such as temperature and humidity levels.
They all have crystal structures. Sugar and salt crystals are formed through the process of crystallization, while snowflakes are ice crystals that form in the atmosphere when water vapor freezes.

The process is called deposition - the direct transition of water vapor to ice without first becoming a liquid. This typically occurs when the air is very cold and the water vapor in the air condenses directly into ice crystals.

Snow is made of ice crystals that form when water vapor in the air freezes directly into a solid. This can happen when the air temperature is below freezing and there is enough moisture in the air for the vapor to condense and crystallize into snowflakes.
Snow crystals form when water vapor condenses directly into ice. This happens in the clouds.
Snow
Snow crystals form when water vapor condenses directly into ice. This happens in the clouds.
The process of water vapor turning directly into ice crystals is called deposition. This occurs when water vapor in the air changes directly into solid ice without first becoming a liquid. This process is often seen in the formation of frost or snowflakes.
