English term or phrase: hoar frost vs rime
In text sunt diferentiati doi termeni: "hoar frost" (spiky needles of frost that form when damp air blows over very cold sufaces and freezes onto them) si "rime" (a thick coating of ice that forms when drops of water in clouds and fogs stay liquid well below freezing point. The drops freeze when they touch a surface).

bruma vs chiciura
Explanation:
Bruma – se produce în aceleaşi condiţii ca şi roua, dar răcirea suprafeţei terestre determină scăderea temperaturii sub 0°C.
Chiciura (promoroaca) – se prezintă sub formă de zapada sau structură cristalină, rezultată prin sublimarea vaporilor de apă sau în urma ingheţării picăturilor de apă.
