2. What is Snow?
Snow is a form precipitation
Composed of frozen water vapor
Size and shape depends on temperature and humitity

3. A snow flake is composed of H2O
And are composed in the above hexagonal shape
Symmetrical shapes because of water vapor experiencing the
same conditions through its decent towards earth

4. Why snow flakes are unique and symmetrical

5. Morphology Diagram
Showing the growth pattern/what
conditions produce what

6. Why is snow white?
Incident light is partially reflected by an ice surface
Incident light bounces around and eventually scatters back
out
Since all colors are scattered roughly equally well, the snow
bank appears white.
In fact, the ice does absorbs some light while it's bouncing
around, and red light is absorbed more readily than blue
