does snow melt when it is 35 degrees farenheit?

Answer 1

well the freezing point of water is 32 degrees so at 35 it should melt,

Answer 2

Just because the air is 35 degrees farenheit does not mean the snow will melt. There are many factors in play, such as the ground tempurature, and the sun.

The ground can be at 20 degrees when the air is at 35 degrees even, sometimes causing the snow to not melt. The sun actually plays the biggest part in the melting. Direct sun light will dramatically increase the tempurature of the snow causing it to raise above the needed 32 or lower degrees to stay in a solid form, in turn, changing to a liquid. The sun can cause the snow to melt even if the air temp is at 20 degrees. The snow/ice is melting here right now and its only 25 degrees, but the sun is out without a cloud in the sky.

Hope it helps, good luck. =)

Answer 3

I think we all know who wasn't paying attention in science class! Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. We know, from paying attention in math, that 35 is a higher (or greater) number than 32. Now transferring what we know about numbers to a thermometer, and also knowing that the higher a number is on that thermometer, the warmer it is, it's safe to assume that 35 degrees Fahrenheit is warmer than 32 degrees Fahrenheit. From this we can conclude that the snow, which formed at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (when the rain drop it used to be froze), will melt at any temperature above 32 degrees Fahrenheit!

Thank you ladies and gentlemen! Stay tuned ... next week we're going to get into vaporization of fluids!

Answer 4

Yes, but only slowly. It's only a little above freezing.

Answer 5

YES.
32* FREEZE. AND ABOVE START MELTS.

Answer 6

yes, if the snow is pure water
