Overview

Snowflakes are ice crystals that form typically around a speck of dust or pollen and exhibit unique, intricate patterns due to their hexagonal structure. Each snowflake is unique, with no two being exactly alike, showcasing the complexity of freezing water molecules.

A Snowflake

Snowflakes are made of ice crystals that form in the atmosphere when water vapor freezes. The crystal structure is a hexagon with six arms. The snowflake arms are repeating units of ice crystals. The shape of the snowflake is determined by the temperature and humidity conditions under which it forms. Hence, no two snowflakes are exactly alike.
