The NASA icing video simply states this fact without giving an explanation. I have found the same with most other sources as well. The acretion of ice is statistical in nature and that is why small objects gather ice. What?? That is how icing works in real life. What is statistical about large vs. small objects and the rate of ice accretion? Matt |

The NASA icing video simply states this fact without giving an explanation. I have found the same with most other sources as well. The acretion of ice is statistical in nature and that is why small objects gather ice. Should that be accretion? ac·cre·tion Pronunciation Key (-krshn) n. 1.. 1.. Growth or increase in size by gradual external addition, fusion, or inclusion. 2.. Something contributing to such growth or increase: "the accretions of paint that had buried the door's details like snow" (Christopher Andreae). 2.. Biology. The growing together or adherence of parts that are normally separate. 3.. Geology. 1.. Slow addition to land by deposition of water-borne sediment. 2.. An increase of land along the shores of a body of water, as by alluvial deposit. 4.. Astronomy. An increase in the mass of a celestial object by the collection of surrounding interstellar gases and objects by gravity. |
