When snow melts.. where does the white go?

Question

i dont uderstand ti cant go into the air cuz u would see it.. if it went into the ground.. you would see the white ground.. WHERE DOES IT GO

Answer 1

..."It" belongs to a secret society that helps it escape to the North Pole, where "it" once again "blends in" with other "white"... if "it" is in the Southern Hemisphere it goes to Antarctica... (I hope that clears it up for you)...

Answer 2

Colour is caused by light being reflected of different surfaces at different wavelengths. When snow melts it undergoes a phase change to a fluid with different surface texture from snow. The change in wavelength causes light to be reflected more in the blue end of the optical light spectrum. The light hits your retina and causes an electrical impulse to your optic nerve. The optic nerve carries the signal to your brain and you interpret it with a feeling that your body associates with the word colour (blue in this case). This signal and feeling are slightly different to the one you get with white snow and so we interpret this as being a different 'colour'. although we think that things have colour - it is really that light reflects differently of different surfaces, but we had to give this phenomenon a name so that we can distinguish.

Answer 3

Color (or colour, see spelling differences) is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, yellow, white, etc. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light energy versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors.

When the snow melts, there is nothing to create a spectrum which in this case causes you to see white.

I like the idea of the secret society better though.

Answer 4

the only reason snow appears white is because the light that is hitting it is being reflected back to you from the crystal structure of the snow particles...so the white that your seeing is nothing but sunlight. Its kinda like a million tiny mirrors.

Answer 5

the white is cause of the freezing!
when the water become freez, the moleculs shape crystal,
after melting they become their natural shape!

now you can answer me why the thrush of refrigrator is white!
