Frost

Frost

Frost is the solid deposition of water vapor from saturated air. It is formed when solid surfaces are cooled to below the dew point of the adjacent air as well as below the freezing point of water. Frost crystals' size differ depending on time and water vapour available. Frost is also usually translucent in appearance. There are many types of frost, such as radiation and window frost. Frost causes economic damage when it destroys plants or hanging fruits.

Famous quotes containing the word frost:

    By measure. It was word and note,
    The wind the wind had meant to be
    A little through the lips and throat.
    The aim was song the wind could see.
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I farm a pasture where the boulders lie
    As touching as a basketful of eggs....
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    It is speckled with grime as if
    Small print overspread it,
    The news of a day I’ve forgotten
    If I ever read it.
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
