Answer 1

Snow is tiny and falls from the sky. As it falls, it leaves gaps for air. This makes it fluffy. Ice hardens one layer at a time. It leaves no gap and is hard. Bring out a stack of paper and a box. The stack op paper in the box is hard. Crumple up the paper and put it in the box it is now springy.
