Snow
Snow is a form of frozen water. It contains many groups of tiny ice particles called snow crystals. These crystals grow from water particles in cold clouds. They usually grow around a piece of dust. All snow crystals have six sides, but they grow in different shapes. The shape depends mainly on the temperature and water levels in the air. Snow crystals grow in one of two designs-platelike and columnar. Platelike crystals are flat. They form when the air temperature is about fifteen degrees below zero Celsius. Columnar snow crystals look like sticks of ice. They form when the temperature is about five degrees below zero Celsius.

雪
雪是水的固体形态， 是由冰结晶聚合而成的固态降水。 这些冰结晶来自冷云团的水粒子。 他们通常生长在一片灰尘周围。 所有的冰晶都有6个角，但却能形成不同的形状。 而形状主要取决于空气中的温度和水位。 冰晶有片状和柱状之分。 片状冰晶是平的。 当气温大约是摄氏零下十五度时候它们就会形成。 柱状冰晶像是冰柱的样子。 它们在大约摄氏零下五度时形成。
