How Does Snow Happens?

How the process of occurrence of snowfall? To answer that, we can start the process of occurrence of
snow. Starting from water vapor that gather in Earth’s atmosphere, the water vapor cools to the point
of condensation (i.e. the temperature at which the gas turns into liquid or solid forms), then rotate to
form clouds. At the beginning of the formation of clouds, its mass is much smaller than the mass of the
air so that the clouds float in the air just like wooden beams which floats on the surface of the water.
However, after the steam collection continues to grow and merge into the cloud, its mass also increases,
resulting in a when air was not able to hold him again. The clouds broke and the water particles ever
fallen to Earth.

Water particles that fall it was pure water (not doped by other particles). Pure water does not freeze in
temperatures of 0 degrees Celsius, because at the temperature of liquid phase changes to solid. To
make pure water freezing temperature required is lower than 0 degrees Celsius. This also happens when
we menjerang water, water evaporates when the temperature above 100 degrees Celsius because at
100 degrees Celsius is the change of phase from liquid to vapor. To speed up the change of the phase of
a substance, usually added special substances, for example, salt is used to accelerate the phase of
melting ice to water.

Usually the air temperature just below the clouds is below 0 degrees Celsius (air temperature depending
on the height above sea level). But, the low temperature alone is not enough to create snow. When
particles of such pure water in contact with air, then the pure water of distortion by other particles.
There are certain particles that function accelerates the freezing phase, so that pure water is rapidly
becoming the ice crystals.

Pollutant particles involved in this process is called nukleator, in addition to functioning as the freezing
phase Accelerator, also the adhesive antaruap water. So the water particles (which are not pure
anymore) joined together with other water particles to form larger crystals.

If the air temperature is not to melt the ice crystals, ice crystals falling to the ground. And here’s the
snow! If not, the ice crystals melt and get to the soil in the form of rain water.

In many cases in the world, the process of the decline of the rain always starts with the snow some
when she fell from the clouds, but then melted away when crossing the hot air. Sometimes, if the
temperature is very low, the ice crystals can form small balls of ice and sleet. Bandung city included
relatively frequently experience hail. So, this is why the snow was very hard down naturally in the
tropical regions that have relatively high air temperatures than areas that are currently experiencing
winter.

Snow Crystal has a unique structure, no snow crystals that have the same shape in this world as our
fingerprints. Imagine, the snow‘s been coming down since the Earth was created up to now, and none of
the snow has the same crystal structure!
The uniqueness of the snow is white in colour. If it’s snowing, the expanse of the Earth as white, clean,
and seemed to be glowing. This is due to the Crystal structure of the snow allows snow to reflect all the
colors to all directions in the same amount, then came the white color. The same phenomenon can also
be seen when we see white sand, salt chunk, chunks of sugar, mist, cloud, and white paint.

In addition, the decline in snow provide warmth. This can be understood from the concept of the
effective temperature. Effective temperature is the temperature felt by our skin, is influenced by three
physical quantities: the measured temperature (by the thermometer), the speed of movement of the
air, and the air humidity. Effective temperature is typically used to determine the “comfort zone“. On
the beach, the measured temperature can be high, but due to the high winds we still feel comfortable.
By the time the snow fell heavy, humidity rises and this influenced the effective temperature so on one
condition we feel warm
