during a snow fall,why the snow falls in star shape?

Answer 1

Large, well formed snowflakes are relatively flat and have six approximately identical arms, so that the snowflake nearly has the same 6-fold dihedral symmetry as a hexagon or hexagram. This symmetry arises from the hexagonal crystal structure of ordinary ice. However, the exact shape of the snowflake is determined by the temperature and humidity at which it forms.[1]. Rarely, at a temperature of around -2 °C (28 °F), snowflakes can form in threefold symmetry - triangular snowflakes. [2] Snowflakes are not perfectly symmetric however. The most common snowflakes are visibly irregular, although near-perfect snowflakes may be more common in pictures because they are more visually appealing.

Snowflakes can come in many different forms, including columns, needles, and plates (with and without "dendrites" - the "arms" of some snowflakes).

Answer 2

Snow is formed when ice cold water vapor trapped in dust, or in the air around dust begins to crystalize. The crystals grow outward from the center of the catalyst, branching in multiple directions as it does do, generating the "star" pattern.

Answer 3

Yes, It a crystal. That is the shape water takes when it freezes and forms a crystal. No two are alike, they say.

Answer 4

That is the shape of ice crystals - six-pointed crystal.

Answer 5

i dont know all i know is every snowflake has to have 6 side and not one looks the same as anoter one
