what happens to the white in snow when it melts?
153150
the white is because of the lights reflection off of the ice crystals.  When it melts there are no more crystals to reflect.

because it is very cold at cloud level and at cloud level that\nrain was once snow until it reached below a certain level and\nthen it melted.

It's not fake snow.  It depends on the temperature, amount of sunlight hitting the snow, etc.  At high altitudes like where the Olympics are the temperatures are lower, causing a dry, hard snow more like ice.  The grooming machines pack it down for competition and it becomes a hard, compacted surface, similar to a sheet of ice.  After about 10-15 racers ski over the same line and the sun hits the snow, it turns to ice.

A beam of white sunlight entering a snow bank is so quickly scattered by a zillion ice crystals and air pockets that most of the light comes bouncing right back out of the snow bank. What little sunlight is absorbed by snow is absorbed equally over the wavelengths of visible light thus giving snow its white appearance.

Snow forms when there is cold air (below freezing) and percipitation falls.  Snow is made out of ice crystals.  Sleet occurs when rain falls from warm air (above freezing) and passes through cold air (below freezing) on the way down, and freezes into ice pellets. (Note: If the air is warm (above freezing) and the objects on the ground are cold, the rain falls, then freezes onto the objects on the ground.  This is called freezing rain.)

as you've said it is in freezing point, so it will freeze to a solid ice...

Thats a difficult question. It all depends on air pressure, wind, temperature, humidity, distance of the clouds above the earth. Velocity of the snowflake. Mass of the snowflake. It's really dependent on the situation and the composition of each individual snowflake. No two conditions are the same.

Before it snows the sky may be clear permitting ground heat to be lost by radiation cooling to outer space.  The temperature may drop well below freezing.  While it is snowing the "snow cloud" blocks radiation cooling and reflects heat back to the ground.  Snow forms when the cloud moisture drops to 32F and water gives up its latent heat while freezing which opposes a further temperature drop.

It all depends upon the layers of temparature in the atmosphere.  If an upper layer where the precipitation originates is below freezing then it can snow even if it is above freezing at ground level.  Reverse those temperatures and you get freezing rain.

If you look at an individual snowflake you will find that the frozen water it contains is quite clear. It is only snow in drifts that looks white. Why? Because snow in drifts is  made up of millions of tiny pieces of ice.\n\n\nEvery time light passes from one substance to another rit changes direction. So when you see something underwater it looks like it’s in a different place to where it is because the light has changed direction moving from the water to the air.\n\nWhen light changes direction like that it also gets split up into different colours  a bit, just like if it had passed through a prism.  It isn’t split as completely as if it has passed through a prism, but the blue light gets split out just a bit more than the red. And every time it changes direction it gets split more and more.\n\n\nWhen light passes through a snow drift it will change direction every single time it shines into every individual snowflake. So light shining on a snowdrift changes direction millions of times. And every time it changes direction it gets split up a bit more. By the time it has shone right through the drift it has changed direction so many times that it has completely split into all the separate colours.\n\nWhen your eyes see an object that is producing light in al the different colours at once it registers that as white. And because the light shining through a snowdrift been split into all the different colours the snow becomes white.\n\nIce on a stream or lake on the other hand is a single block, not millions of pieces like a snowdrift. When light shines through a block of ice it changes direction just twice: once when it enters the ice and once when it leaves it. It doesn’t change direction often enough to get split up very much, so the light coming though looks normal, and not white. The ice appears clear.

It depends on the structure of the structure of the snow particles, whether the snow is wet or dry (that is on air and ground temperature). It can be 4:1 or 8:1, and anything in between. Again, these are approximate values.

Water and ice are transparent and light passes through without any portions of the visible spectrum being absorbed or reflected. On the other hand, most of the visible (white) light striking a snowy surface is reflected back by the countless tiny surfaces of the snow crystals giving snow its white appearance.\n\nOne can think of the ice or snow layer as a filter. If it is only about a centimeter thick, all the light makes it through and it is seen as white, but if it is a meter or more thick, mostly blue light makes it through. More red light is absorbed compared to blue. Not much more, but enough that over a considerable distance, say a meter or more, the light emerging from the snow layer tends to be made up of more blue than red light. Poking a hole in the snow and looking down into the hole you can see blue light or the blue color associated with the depths of crevasses in glaciers. In each case the blue light is the product of a relatively long travel path through the snow or ice.

I don't think there would be a difference. The intense heat from the fire would melt the snow before it touched it, turning it back into water/rain. If there was any difference at all, it would probably be extremely small.

Well snow is white because it is a frozen sliver of moisture.We christians accept white as a sign of purity.Interestingly if you watch snow falling,no two particles ever collide(till they reach the ground)If you stand underneath falling snow and look directly up,the falling snow won't look white(try it)

Well, the first question should be "Why is snow white?"  \n\nA beam of white sunlight entering a snow bank is so quickly scattered by a zillion ice crystals and air pockets that most of it comes zinging right back out of the snow bank. No one wavelength is preferentially absorbed or reflected, so snow is essentially the color of the sunlight reflecting off it -- white. \n\nThen, when the snow melts...it's a clear(ish - depending on the purity of the snow) liquid, and is absorbed into the surroundings, or maybe it evaporates.  Voila!  No more color.
