Answer 2

This is not a hard question, so even an idiot should be able to answer it.

White is a color not a tangible object. When white snow melts, it becomes water which is clear.

Answer 3

believe it or not, snow is not white. I'ts clear. What you're seeing is light reflected off of all the facest of the crystalized water in teh flake. When the snow melts, the facets are gone and though the light is still there, the white is gone.

Answer 4

the white in a snow is not a colour that is added to it, its because of the way the frozen water reflects light and absorbs light, so when it melts there is nothing to change the way light falls so the colour changes back to normal, its in the same way to why the sky is blue, its blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light, that's why we see the blue light rather than the other colours. but after it rains we sometimes get a rainbow, that is because of the way the water allows us to see all of these lights.

Answer 5

Snow is actually clear and the reason it looks white is the way it refracts and reflects light. The light from the sun is white light and snow flakes reflect all that light hence why it looks white.

Answer 6

When water molucles condence a form a piece of snow it's color changed to white

when it melts and return to liquid form it return back to the colorless molucles

Answer 7

The white turns clear

Answer 8

color is determined by which light rays are reflected, absorbed, and transmitted. the surface of the object has a lot to do with it. what appears white to use reflects every color; black absorbs them all. so, because of snow's crystal-like texture, it reflects a lot of light, making it appear white.

Answer 9

the crystalization of the ice causes its opacity. when it melts, the crystals fall apart, therefore, no white color.

Answer 10

Ever been to art class? There's no such colour as white.
