How many snowflakes does it take to make a water drop?

Answer 1

It takes around 100 snowflakes to make a single water drop. This is because snowflakes are composed of tiny ice crystals that eventually melt and combine to form water droplets. The exact number can vary depending on the size and complexity of the snowflakes.

Answer 2

That depends on the temperature of the air -at cold temperatures well below freezing, about 10 flakes to make an equivalent rain drop. Near freezing, where the flake is wetter, about 4 flakes per drop
