How Frost Forms and Why It Sparkles

SciShow Kids

In this engaging episode of SciShow Kids, host Jessi and her robot friend Squeaks explore the science behind frost—that sparkling, frozen layer we often see on grass and windows during colder months. The video breaks down the complex atmospheric process of how water changes states, explaining how invisible water vapor in the air transforms into liquid dew (condensation) and eventually freezes into solid ice crystals when temperatures drop below freezing.
