One interesting thing is that no two snowflakes are alike. i didn't believe this, but one day I could see individual snowflakes, and each one is slightly different. Also, when you see big clumps of snow falling in a snowstorm, that is multiple snowflakes clumped together, not just one huge snowflake. All snowflakes actually have exactly six points on them.

Why do snowflakes stick together?

Snowflakes stick together due to a process called "riming." When two snowflakes come into contact, supercooled droplets in the air freeze onto their surfaces, forming a bond between them. This causes them to stick together and form larger snowflakes or snowflakes clusters.


Where could one find snowflakes falling in the winter time?

Snowflakes falling in the wintertime could be seen anywhere except of course the tropical locations. To truly see snowflakes, an individual is required to have special gear.


Are snowflakes always white?

Snowflakes are made of ice crystals, and their color is determined by the way light interacts with them. Under normal conditions, snowflakes appear white due to the reflection and scattering of light by the ice crystals. However, they can sometimes appear translucent or take on other colors when impurities or certain atmospheric conditions are present.


What did snowflake bentley discover about snowflakes?

Snowflake Bentley, also known as Wilson Bentley, discovered that no two snowflakes are alike. He was the first person to photograph individual snowflakes, revealing their unique and intricate crystalline structures. Bentley's work helped advance scientific understanding of snowflake formation and morphology.


How do snowflakes stick to the ground?

Snowflakes stick to the ground when they land because the individual ice crystals in a snowflake are very small and light, allowing them to be easily caught by tiny nooks and crannies on surfaces. Additionally, when snowflakes land on the ground, they may partially melt and then refreeze, creating an icy bond with the surface.
