Snowflakes are symmetrical
Every snowflake is a collection of snow crystals
Snowflakes can consist of only 2 snow crystals or hundreds of snow crystals
Snow crystals are frozen water molecules which bond to each other
Snowflakes are formed when Snow Crystals grow into tiny, sometimes microscopic, "symmetrical" shapes.
"Symmetrical" means: proportional, or having an equal number of parts.
A perfectly formed 6-sided snowflake is called "symmetrical".
It's true, just like human fingerprints are each different, every snowflake is different
