What’s the difference between ice and snow? Aren’t they both frozen water?

I’m assuming you have never seen snow irl or Else you wouldn’t be asking this but basically snow is frozen rain. It’s tiny particles of water that attack to eachother and then fall when they get heavy (the images you see online of snowflakes are Infact how snowflakes look! From afar it shimmer like glitter). Unlike rain though, they gently land on one another and don’t squish eachother because of air. So you get a kind of shaved ice consistency.
Get hit with a ice ball and tell me the difference then. I learned a thing or two in elementary school about snow balls. We had a whole PSA about ice balls vs snowballs here in Canada

Snow is broken-up ice. Crush ice and you get crushed ice, but snowflakes form in the air. Raindrops that froze.

It’s like the difference between bubble wrap and legos. They are both solid. They both have regular structure in a sense, but bubble wrap has a lot more air. It’s light and fluffy.

Polar fleece and soda bottles are both made of PET. Shape matters a lot. Small slender pieces of material are flexible. Fiberglass insulation and window glass are both made of silica.

It’s all about structure. Sort of like how kitchen sponge foam is made of plastic, but if you melted a kitchen sponge down into a small block, it wouldn’t look or feel much like a sponge anymore.
Snow is sort of like an ice sponge – many tiny thin structures loosely packed together with lots of air in between.
