Question

why so is better heat insulator than ice. ​

Answer 1

When atmospheric temperature falls below 0degreeC the water vapour present in the atmosphere freezed directly in the form of minute particles of ice. ice is a solid form of water, does not enclose pockets of air. Hence, snow acts a good heat insulator than ice.

Answer 2

Due to the presence of air pockets snow acts as a good insulator of heat.

Explanation:

Correct statement:

why snow is better heat insulator than ice. ?

• When the atmospheric temperature or temperature in the surrounding decreases below zero degree centigrade i.e. 0∘C the water vapour present in the atmosphere freeze directly in the form of minute particles of ice.
• These particles combine together form a cotton like shape called snow.
• Through snow is a slid form and contains air pockets in it therefore snow acts a good heat insulator than ice.
