Snow, the solid form of water that crystallizes in the atmosphere and, falling to the Earth, covers, permanently or temporarily, about 23 percent of the Earth’s surface.
A snowman is an anthropomorphic snow sculpture often built in regions with sufficient snowfall.
Snow comprises individual ice crystals that grow while suspended in the atmosphere-usually within clouds-and then fall, accumulating on the ground where they undergo further changes.
In many regions, winter is associated with snow and freezing temperatures.
