Simple Prisms
A hexagonal prism is the most basic snow crystal geometry (see the Snowflake Primer). Depending on how fast the different facets grow, snow crystal prisms can appear as thin hexagonal plates, slender hexagonal columns (shaped a lot like wooden pencils), or anything in between. Simple prisms are usually so small they can barely be seen with the naked eye.
Simple Prisms, Stellar Plates, Sectored Plates, Stellar Dendrites, Fernlike Stellar Dendrites, Hollow Columns, Needles, Capped Columns, Double Plates, Split Plates and Stars, Triangular Crystals, 12-Sided Snowflakes, Bullet Rosettes, Radiating Dendrites, Rimed Crystals, Irregular Crystals
There isn't a lot of agreement about which are the basic types. There are as many as 41 morphological types of snowflakes. But at least one website names these seven basic groups of Snowflake Classification:
Columns
Plates
Needles
Stellar Crystals
Irregular Crystals
Graupel
Ice pellets
hail
Rime
Common shapes of snowflakes include: Needles, Sectored Plates, Hollow Columns, Dendrites, Fernlike Stellar Dendrites, Hexagonal Plates, Triangular Crystals, and many, many more.
There are five types of snow crystals. The first type are called needles, the second type are hollow columns, the third type of snow crystal are the stars, the fourth type of snow crystal are the sector plates, and the fifth are the dendrites.
there are: simple prisms, stellar dendrites, stellar plates, fernlike stellar dendrites, and needles.
Theres white snow, white snow and white snow
Snow flakes
snow crystals form in clound where temperatures are anywhere from 3 to- 39 F
Snow consists of tiny ice crystals.
Snow is water, frozen water crystals.
snow
thousands!!
Snow flakes
each snow crystal is very unique

What are five kinds of snow crystals
no
yes i did a big science project and the hypothesis was correct

Snow consists of tiny ice crystals.
Real snow is created by in nature when water vapor in the air condenses into ice crystals. As the crystals accumulate, the fall to the ground creating real snow. Artificial snow, or fake snow, is produced by spraying water as a mist into the air when it is cold enough to freeze as ice crystals. The artificial snow can often be just as good as real snow.
