Snowflakes

How long does it take for a snowflake to reach earth? The hour-long journey of a snowflake from the cloud to the Earth’s surface is influenced by several factors. The speed at which a snowflake falls depends on its size and shape. Generally, larger snowflakes fall faster than smaller ones due to their greater mass. However, the complexity of a snowflake’s structure can also affect its fall rate.

Furthermore, the temperature and humidity of the air play a crucial role in determining the snowflake’s descent time. Colder temperatures and higher humidity levels tend to slow down the fall of snowflakes. As a result, snowflakes can take longer to reach the ground in certain weather conditions.
