Frost

Frost is the layer of ice that forms when atmospheric moisture freezes on surfaces, typically during cold weather. It occurs when the temperature drops below freezing, causing water vapor in the air to deposit directly onto surfaces as ice crystals. Frost commonly appears on windows, plants, and the ground, especially overnight. It can affect agriculture by damaging crops and influence transportation by creating slippery conditions. Frost formation relies on humidity, temperature, and surface characteristics. It's a natural part of colder weather cycles, serving as an indicator of overnight cooling and atmospheric conditions.
