Some parts are covered for 3 or 4 months while others are covered for most of the year. If the highest latitudes were land rather than ocean, these would be covered all year. However, if the snow never melted, glaciers/ice sheets would form as you see in Greenland and higher elevations in the Arctic. However, in many places where snow melts, the ground is still frozen throughout the year - this is called permafrost.
It is: 8.4 months of a year
There are 12 months in a year.
If you mean how many months left in a year, then it would be eight months left in that year.
Depends which year and which months........................

Greenland is covered with snow throughout the year because of its high latitude and Arctic climate. The temperatures in Greenland remain low enough to sustain snow cover even during the summer months, due to its location close to the North Pole. Snow accumulation is also helped by the fact that most of the island is elevated, leading to colder temperatures and increased precipitation.
No, Greenland is not always covered by ice. It experiences seasonal variation in ice coverage, with the majority of the island covered by ice year-round, but in the summer months, some of the ice does melt.
In the Upper Peninsula, every month but July has seen snow, hence the motto: "eleven months of winter and thirty days of rain."
Yes. It can. The snow leopard just lives in snow for six months of the year!
Yes , Greenland is called the land of snow.It is cool throughout the year. The temperature is always below freezing point.It has heavy snofall everyweek.
No. It most certainly does not.
Greenland has a polar climate, characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers. The interior of Greenland experiences extreme cold temperatures, while coastal areas are moderated by the presence of the ocean. Ice and snow cover the majority of Greenland year-round.
Months is plural when discussing the number. "How many months are in a year?"
Snow accumulates year after year in regions closer to the North and South Poles, such as the Arctic and Antarctic regions. These areas have prolonged cold temperatures that help maintain snow cover throughout the year. Additionally, high-altitude mountain ranges and some subarctic regions also experience consistent snow accumulation.
Greenland receives an average of about 600 mm (24 inches) of precipitation per year, which falls primarily as snow due to its cold climate. The coastal regions tend to receive more precipitation than the interior.
Most parts of Greenland are covered in snow and ice year-round, with the interior of the island experiencing permanent ice sheets. The coastal areas may have seasonal variations in snow cover, but generally have snow cover for most of the year as well.
