Dendritic snowflake. Snowflakes are symmetrical ice crystals that form in calm air with temperatures near the freezing point of water. The exact shape of a snowflake depends on local climatic conditions,mainly air temperature and humidity. They typically have hexagonal symmetry,as seen here. Dendritic snowflakes form branching star-shaped structures. They form at around -15 degrees Celsius. No two snowflakes are identical,as each experiences a wide range of conditions as it forms inside a cloud | |
