What else can I help you with?
Snow is to flake as sand is to?
Its Flake. Sand contains grains of sand. Snow contains flakes of snow.
What is uncompressed granular snow called?
Uncompressed granular snow is known as sugar snow or corn snow. It is characterized by its small, round grains that crunch underfoot and are often found in spring conditions.
When you told my mother the news she turned as pale as.?
Snow
What are snow flurries?
Snow flurries are light snow showers characterized by brief snowfall with little to no accumulation. They often appear as scattered, intermittent snowflakes swirling in the air and can create temporary reductions in visibility. Snow flurries are typically associated with light or quickly passing weather systems.
What conditions are responsible for a light snow?
Light snow typically occurs when there is sufficient moisture in the atmosphere, temperatures are near or slightly below freezing, and there is lift to cool the air and form snowflakes. Light snow is often associated with low- to moderate-intensity weather systems like weak fronts or troughs.
Is precipition the same as rain?
Not necessarily. Rain is most certainly precipitation but precipitation can be rain, hail or snow for example. Other recognized forms are ice pellets, snow grains, snow pellets, and drizzle (which is differentiated from rain).
What does a 44 magnum slug weigh?
Depends entirely on the loading. Some are as light as 200 grains, some as heavy as 340 grains, but most run around 240 grains.
Why does the snow sparkle at night?
Snow sparkles at night because of a phenomenon called "diamond dust," where tiny ice crystals in the snow reflect light from various sources, such as the moon or artificial light. This reflection of light off the ice crystals gives the impression of sparkling or shimmering snow.
How much sunlight does snow reflect?
The ability of the substance to reflect the sunlight from their surface is known as "Albedo". it values may vary between 0 to 1. if the body does not reflect sunlight its value may be taken as zero. if the body reflects complete sunlight its value may taken as 1. for example if the bodys albedo is 0.23 then we can say that 23 percent of sunlight is being reflected. For snow the albedo is 0.83 percent and for water it is 0.03 percent that means 83 percent of sunlight is reflected from snow , where as water reflects 3 to 4 percent of sunlight. Hence snow reflects more sunlight
Why are snows shadows blue?
Snow shadows appear blue due to the way light interacts with snow and the surrounding environment. When sunlight hits the snow, it scatters in different directions, but in areas where the snow is less illuminated, like shadows, the light that reaches those areas is primarily from the sky. This indirect light has a bluish tint, as shorter wavelengths (blue light) scatter more than longer wavelengths (red light). Consequently, the shadows cast on the snow can take on a blue hue, contrasting with the brighter white of the sunlit snow.
What conditions are responsible for light snow?
light gray clouds, and snow flurries, light wind. (:
Does water reflect more light than snow?
No, snow typically reflects more light than water due to its higher albedo, or reflectivity. This is why snow appears bright white, while water absorbs more light and appears darker.
