The average speed of a falling snowflake is around 1 to 6 kilometers per hour, depending on various factors such as the size and shape of the snowflake, temperature, and air currents. Snowflakes can fall faster during heavy snowfall or when influenced by strong winds.

What is the speed of the average snowflake dropping to earth?

The average snowflake falls at a speed of about 3.1 miles per hour (5 kilometers per hour) due to air resistance. However, the speed can vary depending on the size and shape of the snowflake.


What is the force of a falling snowflake?

The force of a falling snowflake is determined by its mass and acceleration due to gravity. As the snowflake falls, it experiences air resistance which counteracts the force of gravity to some extent. The force of a falling snowflake is usually very small due to its light weight.

When a snowflake falls does it loses kinetic energy?

Yes, a snowflake will gradually lose kinetic energy as it falls due to air resistance and gravitational forces acting upon it. This will cause the snowflake's speed to decrease until it eventually comes to a stop on the ground.


What is formed when water freezes onto falling snowflakes?

Graupel, also called soft hail or snow pellets, refers to precipitation that forms when supercooled droplets of water are collected and freeze on a falling snowflake.


What is the speed limit of falling objects called?

The speed limit of falling objects is called terminal velocity. This is the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium it is falling through (like air) equals the force of gravity acting on it.


Why are astronants weightless in space?

The astronaut, space ship and everything in it are all falling at the same speed (falling around the Earth is called ORBIT). If everything is falling at the same speed, they are effectively weightless. Its like falling in an elevator, if everything is falling at the same speed you will appear to be floating around the elevator. Until it reaches the basement.
