SNOWFLAKE Women's Long Sleeve T-Shirt

SNOWFLAKES The reason snow appears white has to do with those beautiful natural artworks we call snowflakes. The air is riddled with tiny particles like dust, soot, and pollen. For a snowflake to form, a freezing water droplet attaches itself to one of those floating dust, soot, or pollen particles. As that ice particle falls, more and more minuscule bits of water vapor freezes to it. Due to the way water molecules bond together when they freeze, a tiny hexagonal form begins to appear. And eventually, you end up with a beautiful six-sided shape we call a snowflake. Snowflakes may have different designs, but they always have six sides. Due to their intricate crystal form, snowflakes reflect light almost like a mirror, and this causes snow to look white. Sunlight emits all colors of the visible spectrum: red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo, and violet. When these colors hit snow, each multi-sided ice crystal, or snowflake, scatters the colors like a tiny prism. All those colors shine equally in all directions, and our eyes, in turn, perceive all those colors colliding as white.
