It is formed of tiny crystals of frozen water and looks a bit like small pieces of cotton. A snowflake is an ice crystal, or an amalgamation of ice crystals, that falls to the earth from the atmosphere boasting a variety of shapes, such as hexagons, stars, flowers, needles, and more. Freshly fallen snow also reflects more than 90% of the sun’s heat back out into space.

The possibility of snowfall in a given region depends on two key factors:
1. The altitude of the region from sea level
2. The distance of the region from the Equator

Now, the higher the altitude of the region, the greater the possibility of getting regular snowfall. Similarly, the greater the distance from the Equator, the greater the chances of snowfall in the region.\n
