Where does the white go after the snow melts?

Answer 1

The white doesn't go anywhere because snow is not actually white, it just looks white to us because of the structure of the snowflakes. Each snowflake is different and so each one reflects light differently and when you have a whole bunch of snowflakes all reflecting different colors we see white (which is what you get when you combine all the colors in the spectrum of light).

Answer 2

The "white" is not the result of a color, but of a reflection.
"That said, why is snow white? 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."

When the snow is gone, there is nothing to reflect, so . . .

Answer 3

The same place the Abominable Snow Man, Santa, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy and Honest Politicians go.....

Answer 4

huh??? Are you talking about the color of the snow?? I can't believe I'm going to explain this.....snow is basically crystallized droplets of water....when the snow melts, the snowflake de-crystallizes and turns back to it's original state...which is water. Which is clear...no color. Just like ice cubes...they take on a whitish hue when frozen and when thawed, they become clear water again.

Answer 5

it's water crystals, so it evaporates into the sky and becomes a cloud of condensation until it rains down/snows again :)

Answer 6

%%% I don't know where the white goes, but I was wondering where the yellow snow comes from... =} %%%
