Snow is indeed a form of water in its solid state. Water exists in three forms—liquid (water), solid (ice or snow) and gas (steam or vapour).

Snow is indeed a form of water in its solid state. Water exists in three forms—liquid (water), solid (ice or snow) and gas (steam or vapour). Snow forms when water vapour in the clouds cools and freezes. It eventually falls to the ground as snowfall, especially in colder regions or during winter. This solid form later melts and adds to freshwater sources.

Water comes from oceans, rivers, lakes and other water bodies. The Sun heats this water, turning it into vapour which forms clouds. These clouds later release rain, snow or hail. This water flows into rivers and oceans again. This continuous movement through evaporation, condensation and precipitation is called the water cycle. It keeps water moving through the environment and is essential for life.

Although about 71% of Earth is covered in water, most of it is salty and found in oceans. Only a small portion—around 2.5%—is freshwater. And of that, much is locked in glaciers. So, the actual usable freshwater is very limited. To compare, if all the water on Earth were a full glass, the drinkableRead more

(a) ANSWER: The small water droplets on the outer surface of the glass come from the moisture present in the surrounding air. When the warm, moist air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, the water vapour in the air cools down and changes into water droplets. This process is calledRead more
(a) ANSWER:
The small water droplets on the outer surface of the glass come from the moisture present in the surrounding air. When the warm, moist air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, the water vapour in the air cools down and changes into water droplets. This process is called condensation and helps us understand how clouds form rain.
(b) ANSWER:
When the ice cubes are left in the glass for some time, they begin to melt because of the surrounding temperature. This shows a change in the state of water from solid to liquid. Heat from the air causes the ice to lose its solid form and become water. This process is called melting and is part of how water changes form.
(c) ANSWER:
If we heat water, it begins to boil and changes from a liquid to a gas, called steam or water vapour. This process is known as evaporation. It happens when the water molecules gain enough energy from heat to break free and rise into the air. This change in state from liquid to gas is part of the water cycle in nature.
