How Do Snowflakes Form? An Educational Winter Song for Kids

◷ 3:33

Where does snow come from? This gentle song follows water inside a cold cloud as tiny ice crystals form, grow into varied snowflakes, and fall under gravity. Children also discover why flakes reach the ground as snow only when the air stays cold enough.

Song lyrics
ما سر رقائق الثلج عند نافذتي؟ غيمة رمادية تمر فوق السطوح أين بدأت رحلتها وهي تدور؟ في خيالي أطير إلى قلب الغيمة فيها بخار ماء خفي وقطرات صغيرة في عمقها يشتد البرد بما يكفي فتتكون حبيبات جليد صغيرة في الغيمة الباردة تتكون بلورة ينضم ماء، فتنمو رقاقة الثلج الجاذبية تسحبها نحو الأرض إن بقي الهواء باردا، تصل ثلجا تجمع البلورة ماء أكثر ستة أفرع، والأشكال متنوعة تدور الرقائق، والريح تهدهدها تكبر شيئا فشيئا وتزداد ثقلا فلا تبقى معلقة في الأعالي في الغيمة الباردة تتكون بلورة ينضم ماء، فتنمو رقاقة الثلج الجاذبية تسحبها نحو الأرض إن بقي الهواء باردا، تصل ثلجا وفي الطريق لا تذوب تماما تحط برفق فوق قفازي على كفي الدافئة تذوب، تصير قطرة في الغيمة الباردة تتكون بلورة ينضم ماء، فتنمو رقاقة الثلج الجاذبية تسحبها نحو الأرض إن بقي الهواء باردا، تصل ثلجا الآن أفهم رحلتها من الغيمة تلتمع رقاقة ثم تصبح قطرة
Language version lyrics
Why do white flakes dance past my window? A gray cloud drifts above the roofs Where did their turning journey begin? In my mind, I fly into the cloud Unseen water vapor drifts with tiny drops Deep inside, the cloud is cold enough Tiny specks of ice begin to form In the cold cloud, a crystal forms Water joins it; a snowflake grows Gravity pulls it toward the ground If the air stays cold, it lands as snow The crystal gathers even more water Six branches, yet their shapes can vary Flakes spin and sway upon the wind They grow still larger, heavier Too heavy now, they cannot stay aloft In the cold cloud, a crystal forms Water joins it; a snowflake grows Gravity pulls it toward the ground If the air stays cold, it lands as snow It does not melt away along the path One settles softly on my glove My warm palm melts it to a water drop In the cold cloud, a crystal forms Water joins it; a snowflake grows Gravity pulls it toward the ground If the air stays cold, it lands as snow Now I know its journey from the cloud One flake shines, then turns into a drop
