Where does the white go when the snow mealts?

Answer 1

It becomes water and either drains away or soaks into the ground. Or do you mean, 'why is snow white and why doesn't it stay white when it melts?'

The answer lies in snow's messy construction. A 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.

But all snow is not so snow-white.

Occasionally, walking across white snow, you'll see color flashes, like sparkles from a diamond. In this case, a cold, dry night has probably squeezed the last moisture out of the air and onto the top layer of snowflakes, where it has crystallized in a faceted pattern similar to ... a diamond. These little torture chambers bend and split light into its rainbow of wavelengths the way a prism does.

Answer 2

The white changes to clear as the snow melts and becomes liquid.
Snow is frozen water in many little crystals. It is frozen water just like
ice cubes are frozen water, except snow is not in a block shape, but in many
little crystals. The reason snow looks white to you is because when the
colors in the light touch it the snow does not absorb any of them, so to
your eyes, because it did not absorb, it looks white. When the snow melts it
means the little tiny water crystals are melting, just like an ice cube
melts when it gets warm. All the snow turns into water and makes the ground
wet. Now the snow no longer exists, so the light does not have any more snow
to touch anymore, therefore you do not see white any longer. Instead, you
see the color of whatever object was under the snow (like the grass

Answer 3

Its really just ice, but when light hits it, it looks white. When it melts, its really just ice melting, which then turns to water

Answer 4

it only looks white cuz its a buncha ice

Answer 5

it disapears, like magic

Answer 6

well, well, well i would say it go to where it from.
