Snow forms on Mount Kilimanjaro due to its high elevation, which allows temperatures to drop significantly, even in a tropical region. The mountain reaches an altitude of 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), where the air is cool enough for snow and ice to accumulate. Additionally, the mountain's glaciers are fed by moisture-laden winds, which contribute to precipitation in the form of snow at higher altitudes. This unique combination of altitude and climatic conditions allows for the presence of snow and glaciers on Kilimanjaro.
