81. Snowflakes seem like white stars falling from the sky. But they don’t always look white.

Sometimes they appear to have other colors. Some are red, green, yellow, or black. There have been snowflakes of almost every shape. Think how it would seem to have these coming down all around you. Wouldn’t they look pretty?

Black snow came down in France one year. Another year gray snow fell in Japan. It was found that such snow was mixed with ashes. This made it seem dark. Red snow has come down in other countries. When this happened, it was mixed with red dust. That’s why it looked different. Most snow looks white, but it is really the color of ice. It is ice that comes from snow clouds. Each snowflake begins with a small drop of water. More water forms around this drop. The way the water freezes gives the snowflake its shape.

No two snowflakes are ever just the same size or shape. All start out flat and have six sides. Some snowflakes are broken when they hit the ground. Others melt as they fall.

83. In the night sky you might see a big white ball. This is the moon. The moon moves around

the earth. It does this one time about every 291/2 days. It is smaller than the stars. But it looks bigger. That’s because it is closer to us than the stars.

Sometimes the moon looks like a ball of light. Other times it looks only part of a ball. But it is really always the same. The moon’s light comes from the sun. Sometimes one part is lighted. Other times another part is lighted. We see only the part of the moon that is lighted.
