Estos copos caen al suelo por su propio peso.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00bfCu\u00e1l es la diferencia con la lluvia?<\/strong> L\u00f3gicamente, la temperatura. La nieve se forma\u00a0con una temperatura\u00a0atmosf\u00e9rica de cero grados o menos aunque tambi\u00e9n debe haber un cierto grado de humedad para completar el proceso. Mientras m\u00e1s temperatura haya, la nieve pasar\u00e1 a ser granizo o lluvia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/itv.es\/icemakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/nieve2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-819\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-819 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/itv.es\/icemakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/nieve2.jpg\" alt=\"nieve2\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itv.es\/icemakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/nieve2.jpg 512w, https:\/\/itv.es\/icemakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/nieve2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">En las pistas de esqu\u00ed, la f\u00f3rmula para crear nieve es el uso de un\u00a0<b>ca\u00f1\u00f3n innivador que funciona\u00a0<\/b>a partir de agua y aire presurizados y expulsados a baja temperatura.\u00a0La innovaci\u00f3n artificial comienza con una fuente de agua en un r\u00edo, lago o embalse. El agua se bombea a trav\u00e9s de una tuber\u00eda hacia la monta\u00f1a mediante una potente bomba. Esta agua se distribuye a trav\u00e9s de una compleja red de ca\u00f1er\u00edas que interconecta toda la instalaci\u00f3n. Despu\u00e9s llega\u00a0la adici\u00f3n de aire. Se realiza mediante una planta dedicada con un compresor de aire que lo enfr\u00eda y se encarga de retirarle la humedad que porte. <strong>Ese aire fr\u00edo y muy seco se dirige por un gasoducto paralelo al de la tuber\u00eda de agua.<\/strong> <strong>Ambos confluyen en el ca\u00f1\u00f3n, que expulsa aire y agua a un tiempo.<\/strong> Si las condiciones son las adecuadas la nieve se forma en el acto.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Por cierto,<strong> la nieve artificial tambi\u00e9n la puedes crear en casa<\/strong> para pasar un rato divertido con los m\u00e1s peque\u00f1os de la casa. Os dejamos un v\u00eddeo donde se explica c\u00f3mo hacerlo.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n2RDkGrKpxY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How natural and artificial snow are created?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When winter does not want to show up and temperatures do not go down,\u00a0<strong>plans for going skiing in January or February can be frustrated.<\/strong>\u00a0Or at least that is how it used to be. Luckily today, we are capable of making artificial snow to cover the mountains with a beautiful white layer on which we can have fun in lots of ways, both children and adults.<\/p>\n<p>However, maybe sometime you have wondered <strong>how is it possible to make solid and lasting artificial snow.<\/strong>\u00a0At ITV we tell you how.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>But before that, you need to know\u00a0<strong>how natural snow is formed.\u00a0<\/strong>Snow is made of crystals growing in the atmosphere through the absorption of water droplets which, when crashing with each other, get together forming snow flakes. These flakes fall by gravity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the difference with rain?<\/strong>\u00a0Obviously, temperature. Snow is formed with an ambient temperature of zero degrees or less, although there also has to be a certain degree of moisture to complete the process. Depending on the temperature, snow can become hail or rain.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/itv.es\/icemakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/542956.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-820\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-820 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/itv.es\/icemakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/542956.jpg\" alt=\"542956\" width=\"575\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itv.es\/icemakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/542956.jpg 575w, https:\/\/itv.es\/icemakers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/542956-300x209.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In ski resorts, the formula for making snow is forcing water and pressurized air at low temperatures through a\u00a0<strong>snow cannon<\/strong>.\u00a0Snowmaking begins with a water source from a river, pond or reservoir. Water is pumped through a pipe towards the mountain with a powerful pump. This water is distributed through a complex pipe network to the whole facility. Then, air is added. It is done by means of a compressor which cools the air and takes off any moisture it can have.\u00a0<strong>This cold, dry air is taken along a separate pipeline following the same path as the water pipeline.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Both end in the cannon, which throws air and water at the same time.<\/strong>\u00a0With the right conditions, snow forms right away.<\/p>\n<p>By the way,<strong>\u00a0artificial snow can also be made at home<\/strong>\u00a0to have a great time with your kids.
