well if a snowflakes melts at 80 degrees then the snowflake will be a puddle of water. So the temperature has to be a reasonable freezing point to keep the shape structured together. your welcome <3 :))

∙ 13y agoThey say no 2 snowflakes are alike so pinpointing their shapes is ambiguous at best. Some are pentagons, others are sextets. A good way to figure this out is to have a look at frozen snowflakes that are stuck to your windows first thing in the morning.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYes, it does! it affects the size and shape of the ice crystals that make up a snowflake. if the temperature is colder,it affects bigger and heavier ice crystals, therefore changing the snowflake!

∙ 13y agothere is no one shape of a snowflake they are all different in there own way
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoWell, every snowflake has its own shape but none of them are the same so, the shape of a snowflake is different every time
Wiki User
∙ 12y agobecause it changes the melting and refreezing of the snowflake, changing the shape.

How many different shapes do snowflakes come in?
Snowflakes are never the same shape like for instance if it snowed one day and stopped and started the next day it would be a different shape.
Are all snowflakes the same shape?
Sort of. The shape of crystals is the subject of the scientific field of crystal morphology, and the relationship of the shape of the unit cell (the "hexagonal crystal array" you're talking about) to the shape of the overall crystal is a lot more complicated than that.
What are basic snowflake shapes?
Well, it may be hard to find two snowflakes that look identical, but you can classify snow crystals according to their shapes. Some types of snowflakes are Hexagonal Plates, Stellar Plates, Stellar Dendrites, Fernlike Stellar Dendrites, and many, many more. Example: This snowflake is a Hexagonal Plates. Each and every snowflake looks different.
How many points a snowflake usually have?
Snowflakes have six sides because water molecules crystalize in a hexagonal shape, as a result, when they connect by bumping into each other, they can only create shapes with six arms or sides.
Who makes snowflakes?
nobody snowflakes are made by something called precipitation this means water falls down in any form so when its cold enough it snows
What does dipolarity have to do with snowflakes?
Snowflakes are shapes of snow that fall from the sky.
How many different shapes do snowflakes come in?
Snowflakes are never the same shape like for instance if it snowed one day and stopped and started the next day it would be a different shape.
Is it possible for two snowflakes to be alike?
Snowflakes come in all different shapes and sizes just like people. No two snowflakes can ever be the same and that is a good thing because than there's more beautiful designs.
What are the different type of snowflakes?
All snowflakes are different
How many sides does a snowlflake have?
Different snowflakes have different shapes and sizes, so one snowflake could have 3 sides, while another one has 8.
How many shapes are there including human animal and plant shapes?
Near enough infinitely many. There are million of shapes for snowflakes, alone.
How many different shaped snowflakes are there?
There are infinite shapes. Each snowflake is made by chance of how the ice particles interact in the sky before falling.
How many different shapes of snowflakes do scientists think exist?
due to strong hydrogen bonding between water as compare to ice form
What is the scientific definition of a snowflake?
It is not scientific, it is plain and simple. Snowflakes are two snow crystals that when supercooled as entering the atmosphere freeze into different shapes and sizes.
Why do snow flakes have hexagonal shapes?
First, not all snowflakes are perfectly symmetrical. In fact, the vast majority of snowflakes are asymmetrical. However they appear to be because on a microscopic scale, each side of a crystal being is such close proximity to the other will produce similar results because each molecule was formed under the same environmental conditions simultaneously.
How Mathematics is involved in 3d snowflakes?
Because when we cut the shapes it's related to maths
How does a snowflakes look?
Contrary to the general belief the overwhelming majority of snowflakes do not have a particular shape. Just a few have crystalline fractal shapes, similar to tree branches, for example.
