This document summarizes different types of snow and the process of snow formation. It describes how snow begins as water vapor that rises into the atmosphere, cools to form clouds, and then falls to earth as ice crystals if the temperature is below freezing. It lists several types of snow crystals like columns, needles, plates, dendrites, and stellar crystals, describing their characteristic shapes that range in size from only visible under a microscope to over 5 mm. The document also notes that snow formation requires not just low temperatures, but particles that accelerate the freezing of water into ice crystals before they melt into rain.

Snow is water that falls from frozen clouds and rain.
Snow has a soft texture with lumps of white ice crystals. This soft white object is very easy to find in various countries that have four seasons such as Japan, New Zealand and Europe. However, there are also in snowy tropical regions, namely in the Jayawijaya Mountains and Sudirman Barisan in Papua, Indonesia . Snow - Process Snow - Sequenced Explanation
The beginning of the formation of snow is evaporation or rising
water vapor into the earth's atmosphere and the vapor cools to form water or ice, then clots to form clouds. Water vapor continues to grow until the clouds break and the particles come down to earth. Water particles that fall to earth are pure water that has not been contaminated. Pure water can only freeze at temperatures below 0 because at that temperature it is used to change shape. Usually the temperature just below the cloud is a temperature below 0. This is influenced by the surface height. However, low temperatures alone are not enough to create snow. When the particle hits the air, the cloud content is already contaminated. However, there are other particles that accelerate the freezing phase so that the water quickly crystallizes into ice. These particles are called nucleators. When the temperature does not melt the crystals, it will snow. If not, the ice crystals will melt and rain. And snow is formed by several factors, namely the location of the equator, the high and low between surfaces and clouds, and the temperature that affects the cloud. Is a snow whose shape is similar to the wooden pencil body that we usually use in Indonesia. This type of snow is very thin and small so it is difficult to see the perfect shape with the naked eye.
: a type of large size snow about 2-
4 mm which looks like a tree with special branches. Stellar dendritic snow can be seen with the naked eye.
Is the largest type of
snow crystal with measurements reaching 5 mm or more. Shaped like a fern. Is one type of snow that looks like a tube with a cone hole in it. The shape is so small that a magnifying glass is needed to see the perfect shape of this type of snow.
As the name implies, this type of snow is
shaped like a needle or small hair. Usually formed at a mperature of 5 degrees. Do you have any question ?
