when white snow melts where does the white go?

Answer 1

Snow only looks white because the tiny ice particles of which it is made are reflecting sunlight. No snow, no reflected light.

Answer 2

The "white" in snow is not anything at all. The ice crystals in snow are so numerous and complicated in structure that the light entering the snow bounces aroung a seemingly infinite amount and ends up coming out white light. Basically the snow is like a rough shiney mirror. When the snow melts the molecules compact and balance out making clear water.

Answer 3

Snow isn't really white in the way say white paint is. Snow looks white because of the way it refracts light. It is really clear just like water.

Answer 4

The frost crystals melt returning the water to the earth.

Answer 5

The white goes into the crevasses of our gray matter. In other words it is sealed in our brain as a memory.

Answer 6

It goes back to its liquid state when it melts and that is back to water which is clear.

Answer 7
