Snow is frozen water that falls from the sky as soft, white flakes. It usually happens in winter when the air is cold. Snow can cover the ground, trees, and buildings, creating a white landscape. People enjoy snow by making snowmen, skiing, or having snowball fights. Snow also affects nature and helps provide water when it melts.
History

Formation: Snow forms in clouds when temperatures are low enough for water vapor to freeze directly into ice crystals. These crystals cluster together to create snowflakes.
Historical Significance: Snow has been part of Earth’s climate and ecosystems for millions of years, shaping landscapes and influencing human cultures, especially in colder regions.
Cultural Impact: Snow has inspired art, literature, and traditions around the world. It plays an important role in winter sports and seasonal activities.
Scientific Study: The study of snow and ice, called cryology, helps scientists understand climate change and weather patterns.
