When the temperature of a cloud is below -18 degrees Celsius, the cloud consists almost entirely of ice crystals. Water droplets freeze around condensation nuclei at these temperatures, forming ice crystals that make up the cloud.
A snowflake can be made up of hundreds to thousands of individual ice crystals. These ice crystals form in a symmetrical pattern as they fall through the atmosphere, creating the intricate shapes we associate with snowflakes.
YES matter is anything that has mass and takes up space including snow and even air
No. Snow is a result of moisture being carried up into the atmosphere by convection. There is no atmosphere, moisture, or convection in space to produce snow, though there are, no doubt, ice crystals broken off from comets.
Particles that make up minerals join to form crystals. Crystals are solid structures with a repeating pattern of atoms or molecules.
It turns out that "pure" snow is made up of snowflakes which are made up of from 2 to 200 separate snow crystals. Snow crystals are crystals that have formed around tiny bits of dirt that have been carried up into the atmosphere by the wind. So snow crystals are really soil particles that have been dressed up in ice.
a bunch of snow
A bunch of high snow-caped hills.

There is no snow to speak of in Antarctica: there's not enough humidity to produce snow. Blizzards are made up of blowing ice crystals.
Snow
You might have thrown snow balls as a child. Thinking back to those days, when you collect some snow from the ground it's nice and fluffy and soft. This is because snow is made up of lots and lots of tiny ice crystals that have a lot of space for air to get trapped inside. Hope this helps!

They make up the snow to make her little arms and legs
atoms, ions, and molecules basically make up crystals are made from molten lava
