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:

    That primitive head
    So ambitiously vast,
    Yet so rude in its art,
    Is as easily read
    For the woes of the past
    As a clinical chart.

    Anything we saw
    And thus fastened on
    With an epithet,
    We would see to yet
    We would want to touch,
    Not to mention clutch.
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    She had some art of hearing and yet not
    Hearing the latter wisdom of the world.
