Question

Why does the weather become warm when it snows?

Answer 1

1. The weather becomes warm when it snows because of the high specific latent heat of the fusion of ice.
2. Specific latent heat of fusion of ice is the amount of heat energy that is required to melt $1kg$ of ice at $0^{°}C$ to form water at $0^{°}C$.
3. So, when a unit kilogram of ice freezes, it liberates $33600$ joules of heat energy which is released into the atmosphere.
4. Because of the release of such an amount of heat energy the weather becomes warm when it snows.

The weather becomes warm when it snows as an enormous amount of heat energy is released when ice is formed, which makes the weather warm.
