Snow is cold because it forms from water vapor in the atmosphere that freezes into ice crystals when temperatures drop below freezing. Its white color results from the way light interacts with the ice crystals; snow reflects most wavelengths of visible light, which combines to appear white to our eyes. Additionally, the structure of snowflakes creates numerous surfaces that scatter light, enhancing this reflective quality.
