Yes, snow can sublimate in cold temperatures. Sublimation is the process by which a solid turns directly into a gas without first becoming a liquid. In cold temperatures, snow can undergo sublimation, turning directly from a solid (ice) into water vapor without melting into liquid water first.

When can ice and snow sublimate directly into water vapor and go directly into the atmosphere and does this happen in Antarctica?

No. The temperatures in this polar desert do not support liquid water.


Can garlic survive in snow?

Yes, garlic can survive in snow as it is a hardy plant that can withstand cold temperatures.


Is it possible for snow to sublimate into water vapor?

Yes this happens all the time. It is most noticeable when it's windy, and this is the primary mechanism by which snow is lost in windy and extremely cold locations such as inland Greenland and Antarctica.


Can a snake live in the snow?

No. Despite stories about "snow snakes", snakes are reptiles- cold blooded- they are same temperatures as their surroundings.


Does evaporation only happen when it is heated at high temperatures?

No. The sky precipitates snow. It has to be cold to precipitate snow. Evaporation must happen for precipitation.


Why there is a snow?

Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals before falling to the ground. This process occurs when temperatures are below freezing and there is enough moisture in the air. Snowfall is more likely in regions with cold temperatures and adequate humidity.


Why does snow sparkle only in freezing temperatures?

Snow sparkles in freezing temperatures because the cold air prevents the snowflakes from melting. When light hits the edges and surfaces of the snowflakes, it reflects off in different directions, creating a sparkle effect. Additionally, the cold, dry air in freezing temperatures helps preserve the structure of the snowflakes, enhancing their reflective properties.


What is the smell if you burn the snow?

Snow does not burn (combine rapidly with oxygen) because it is a very stable molecule. It will melt or sublimate, but not burn.


How are snow leopards adapted to the snow and ice?

How did snow get to the earth?

The clouds are made of water that turns to rain and all that stuff that you probably know. Well, when the temperatures get cold, that rain gets cold and freezes. This results in snow and hail and all of that disgusting weather.
