Do bikes get better traction on snow or ice?
I don't know of anything that gets better traction on ice than snow.
Why is ice colder than snow?
In, the freeze first its start snow and then it happen in solid ice so ice is old snow so it is going to be colder than snow i think regards Eusebio0
What is frozen precipitation called?
SNOW OR ICE
How does snow turn into ice?
when H2O (water) hits snow it turns to ice
Does ice melt faster on an insulator or conductor?
Conductor

Is ice a better conductor than copper?
No, Ice is a good insulator and copper is a very good conductor
Why eskimos make their houses called igloos out of snow?
Snow has particles that are kept warm more than ice this makes snow a better insulator and also snow is easier to mold.
What is more dense ice or snow?
Ice is denser than snow

Is ice colder than ice cream?
No, it is not. Ice cream is colder than snow.
Are thinner tires better on snow and ice than wide ones?
No wide tyres or better because the give more grip Actually wider tires don't give you more grip in snow. They simply allow more snow to pile up in front of the tire. On Ice or snow pack a wider tire will provide better grip but in deep snow the thinner tire works better. Chicago winters taught me that.
Is ice a poor conductor of heat?
Yes. Ice conducts heat poorly, snow even more so - snow is a great insulator. one of the best! Ice has a high specific heat too (it takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of ice).
Is shaved ice better or snow cones?
Basically it is the same thing but shaved ice might be better it depends on where you get it from
What causes ice sheets to increase?
More snow falls than melts. Snow packs into ice.
Is a metal cup a better insulator or a plastic cup a better insulator?
Putting the cup in the freezer keeps ice from melting. Those cups will slow down the melting rate, but if you've got ice at room temperature it's gonna melt eventually. Having said that, ice will melt slowest in a styrofoam cup.
Is an ice chest an conductor or an insulator?
Insulator
