How is snow formed?

Snow is formed when water in the upper air freezes into crystals.

How long has earth been recycling water?
For over 4 billion years

What is Collection?
Collection is when oceans and lakes collect water that has fallen. Water evaporates into the sky again and the cycle continues over again.
