Snowflakes are star-shaped due to the molecular structure of water and how it freezes. When water freezes, water molecules arrange themselves in a hexagonal lattice, forming a six-sided structure. As more water molecules freeze and accumulate, the lattice grows and gives snowflakes their characteristic star shape with six branches. The intricate patterns and variations in snowflake shapes occur due to the unique environmental conditions and the individual paths water molecules follow as they freeze in the atmosphere.
