                              How snow is made?

We all agree that the snowfall is always fascinating. In the snowfall, all people stay out of the house and play with snow. People can make giant snowmen, trample along the snow, or play snowballs with their families. However, are you curious how snow is made?

Snow is water droplets falling from the clouds. These droplet waters then become solid and create snow. It happens because rain consists of water vapor particles and being cooled in the air.

Snow happens when water vapor piled up in the earth’s atmosphere freezes. It happens before they turn into water droplets. This process occurs when the temperature in the cloud becomes very frigid.

Snowflakes are created by crystals of ice which have established around a little filth in the air. They then grow from small forms into the big one. The form of snowflakes are varied. They can consist of 200 crystal maximum.
