A snowflake is formed when moisture clings to a particle in the air and the air is cold enough to freeze the water into ice. Because ice is crystaline in structure, it forms in beautiful geometric patterns until it becomes heavy enough to fall from the sky.

∙ 12y agoSnowflakes are a form of water ice. Snowflakes are formed in the clouds which in water vapour. When the temperature is 32 degrees or lower water changes into ice, several factors affect the snowflake formation, temperature, air currents, and humidity all influence shape and size. If dirt gets mixed up in the water if can affect the crystal weight. The particles from the dirt make the snowflake heavier and can cause cracks and breaks in the snowflake that makes it easier to melt.

∙ 14y agodust molecules and water vapor falls from clouds that freezes into snow and ice that falls down to the ground. it must be at least 32 degrees to snow. the colder it gets the less it snows. in the arctic climates very little snow falls.

Are snowflakes real?
Snowflakes are ice particles formed from water droplets high in the atmosphere. All snow falls as snowflakes. Snowflakes are the winter version of rain drops. They are quite real.
Why are all snowflakes hexagrams?
Though snowflakes vary greatly in appearance they all have six-sides due to the chemical makeup of the water they are formed from.
Is melting snow reversible?
No, snowflakes are formed in a delicate freezing process high in clouds.
How many snowflakes are there?
There is an infinity of snowflakes. There like people. They come and they go. You can't stop it. So, to answer your question, there are infinity of snowflakes.
Why are no two snowflakes alike?
it is not a prooven fact that there are no two snowflakes alike. they only checked out 100 snowflakes. there are more then that in a hand full

Why are snowflakes?
Because when water precipitates out of solution in sub zero temperatures, ice crystals are formed and these are the snowflakes.
Why are there snowflakes?
Because when water precipitates out of solution in sub zero temperatures, ice crystals are formed and these are the snowflakes.
Are snowflakes always white?
Yes, snowflakes formed in the atmosphere are always white unless the atmosphere is contaminated by particles such as soot or dust. Snowflakes will then be colored by that contamination.
How many snowflakes have landed on Earth since it was formed?
several.
Why are all snowflakes hexagrams?
Though snowflakes vary greatly in appearance they all have six-sides due to the chemical makeup of the water they are formed from.
How are snowflakes formed using your understanding on phase change?
by knowing olivia and rebecca and katie
Is melting snow reversible?
No, snowflakes are formed in a delicate freezing process high in clouds.
Why are all snowflakes symmetrical?
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.
Can snowflakes be natural or manmade?
snowflakes are natural
Are snowflakes made of oxygen?
No, snowflakes are water that has frozen in a certain way that forms snowflakes. But they have oxygen in them.
Who invented snowflakes?
Nobody. Snowflakes form naturally.
