Where Does Frost Come From? | Winter Science | SciShow Kids

The video explores the concept of frost, a layer of ice that forms on surfaces like plants and windows during certain times of the year. It explains how frost forms when temperatures drop below freezing at night, causing water vapor to condense and freeze. The video also highlights the role of frost in indicating seasonal changes, particularly from summer to winter. It discusses the impact of frost on agriculture, as farmers must monitor weather conditions to protect crops. Finally, it encourages viewers to become frost experts by observing weather patterns and predicting frost formation.
