The Magic and Science of Snow
When white flakes start falling from the sky, it is a sight to behold. It's as if the sky is sprinkling earth with powdered sugar, making everything look like a magical winter wonderland. These flakes, which we call snow, are more than just pretty sights. Did you know every snowflake is unique and has six sides? They form and grow in clouds when the temperature is below freezing. But snow is not only for fun snowball fights and building snowmen. It plays an important role in maintaining Earth's temperature and adds nutrients to the soil when it melts. However, too much of it can cause problems, like making roads slippery and causing delays in transportation. So, snow, with all its beauty, also teaches us about balance in nature.
