What is the difference between snow and ice?

Answer 1

The force that snow exerts on an object.

Approximate Density of Snow x Volume of Snow x Force of Gravity.

That would be for a point load, for any practical application you would want to calculation the pressure, so calculate the total volume of snow and divide by area.

Answer 2

snow and ice are different because ice is compacted and snow is frozen water droplets so the particles spread out.

add Snow will commonly have a density of less than 0.1, whereas ice will have a density close to ( but less than) 1.0. For ice floats on water - remember.

Answer 3

Snow is frozen precipitation in the form of small, white ice crystals that fall from the atmosphere. Ice refers to solid water in the form of a hard, transparent substance that is frozen at or below 0°C. Snow is softer and fluffier compared to the hard and dense nature of ice.

Answer 4

Snow is nothing but the frozen atmospheric vapour which falls in winters on earth as light flakes whereas ice is simply frozen water.

Answer 5

snow is a frozen water vapour, whereas ice is a frozen liquid water.
