Mostly for skiing, but they help de-intensify the light refracted from the snow OR water. Use them as you like.
One uses snow goggles for two reasons. a) in the mountains where there will be increased UV rays, goggles are essential to avoid snow blindness. Believe me you want to avoid it. b) in the Antarctic, it depends on your altitude. The snow glare can be very uncomfortable - it is as if you were looking into the sun! - so you will probably want to wear goggles for this. Even close to sea level. Otherwise as ) above. In 'whiteout' conditions, when it is just like you were inside a ping-pong ball, goggles do interfere with the Very difficult seeing conditions. You may have to proceed without goggles, just to maximize your seeing ability, but the chance of snow blindness is far from zero. Been there.
These includes snow shoes, sleds, skiis and snow goggles,
Snow mountain climbers wear dark goggles to protect their eyes from the sun's intense glare reflecting off the snow. The dark lenses help reduce the amount of light reaching the eyes, preventing snow blindness and improving visibility in bright conditions. Additionally, the goggles provide protection against UV radiation at higher altitudes.
Moto goggles are single lens, ski goggles are double lens. The double lens reduces fogging, which is nice on the slopes and why ski goggles are more expensive. Also, good ski goggles come with UV protection, but some moto goggles do not.

Not necessarily. You can wear Sunglasses instead of goggles if you want, but you have to wear something to protect your eyes, or you put yourself at risk of Snow Blindness, since light refracts strongly off snow, and damages your eyes. This is just as true when it's cloudy as when it's sunny. Wearing Goggles instead of Glasses is however recommended in bad weather, mainly for comfort reasons. Note: There's no difference between Ski and Snowboard Goggles.

goggles help protect your eyes from harm. Snowboarders or skiiers wear goggles to help with the glare from the snow and also to keep out ice, snow, or rocks. Chemists may wear goggles so that chemicals don't get in their eyes. http://www.gogglesandglasses.com/global_vision.html http://www.gogglesandglasses.com/xloop_ski_goggles.html http://www.gogglesandglasses.com/dg_ski_goggles.html
