The phase change that creates snow is when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses directly into ice crystals without passing through the liquid phase, a process known as deposition. This results in the formation of tiny ice crystals that can join together to form snowflakes.
When two glucose molecules join together, a water molecule is lost through a dehydration reaction. This process forms a disaccharide molecule called maltose.
There are some clouds that based on appearance are most likely to produce rain (low and very dark in color, or very vertically developed cumulus), but much of our midlatitudeprecipitation comes from stratiform clouds that may produce either rain or snow.Most of our rain actually forms as ice in the cloud layer and melts on the way down, so it is actually melted snow. Much depends on the temperature of the atmosphere between the clouds and the ground.As I understand it, dark color tends to indicate higher liquid water content rather than ice, and low means warmer temps, which is why I'd cautiously say that low dark clouds are more likely to be rain.An awful lot of the time, the look of the clouds probably can't tell you whether to expect snow or rain unless you're a seasoned expert. You can try to judge by what the temperatures outside seem like, and by estimating the environmental lapse rate (the change in temperature with altitude).There is still quite a debate about this; some people would swear that rain clouds and snow clouds are different, and say they can see in the clouds when it looks like snow.Tropical rain, of course, is more likely to form as water in the first place - but in tropical regions you're not wondering whether it'll be rain or snow!A quick check of any meteorology or physical geography text should allow you to read about the two major ways precipitation forms in clouds: the collision-coalescence process (only gives rain) or the Bergeron Ice-Crystal process (could give rain or snow).

This process describes the formation of snow in clouds. Water vapor freezes onto ice pellets, forming ice crystals that can join together to create larger snowflakes. These snowflakes eventually become heavy enough to fall to the ground as snow.
3 components are water, air and carbon dioxide which can all join together to make clouds
Yes, rain is produced when water droplets in clouds join together and become too heavy to remain aloft, falling to the ground due to gravity.
Clouds form when water vapor in the air cools and condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals around particles in the atmosphere, such as dust or pollution. The cooling of the air can be due to rising air currents, changes in temperature, or contact with a cold surface. These droplets or crystals join together to form clouds.
Water vapor condenses to form clouds when the air is saturated with water vapor, typically due to cooling of the air. As the air cools, the water vapor molecules slow down and come closer to each other, eventually reaching a point where they cluster together to form tiny water droplets or ice crystals. These tiny droplets or crystals then join together to form clouds.
Yes, snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into ice crystals within clouds. These ice crystals then join together to form snowflakes, which fall to the ground when they become heavy enough.
Water condenses to make clouds, that join together to form larger droplets. When these drops are heavy enough to fall, they return to the Earth's surface as rain, hail, or sleet. If clouds are made of ice particles instead of water drops, they can produce snow.Thus it is precpitation that takes place just after condensation
When water droplets join together, they form larger droplets due to surface tension and cohesion forces. This process is known as coalescence and usually occurs when two droplets come into contact and merge to reduce their total surface area.

Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes directly into ice crystals, bypassing the liquid stage. These ice crystals then join together to form snowflakes. Precipitation occurs when these snowflakes fall to the ground.
Cloud formation occurs when warm air rises and cools, causing water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets or ice crystals around particles in the atmosphere. These droplets or crystals gather together to form clouds. Different types of clouds can form at different altitudes depending on the atmospheric conditions.
Airplanes do not release water into the atmosphere. Those cloudlike trails that you see following aircraft are called "contrails" and they are caused by the agitation of the air by the aircraft passing through it, causing water molecules suspended in the air to collide and join to create droplets.
