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 :))

How many different shapes do snowflakes come in?

Snowflakes can come in a variety of shapes, but they generally have six-fold symmetry due to the way water molecules arrange themselves when freezing. This can result in shapes like stellar dendrites, sectored plates, and columns.


Who makes snowflakes?

Snowflakes are formed when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals. These ice crystals form unique shapes as they fall through different temperature and humidity conditions in the clouds. Each snowflake is made up of a number of ice crystals that bond together to create the intricate patterns we see.


What happens to snowflakes when air gets colder?

When the air gets colder, snowflakes can form as water vapor in the air condenses into ice crystals. These ice crystals then join together to form snowflakes. Colder temperatures allow for the formation of more complex and well-defined snowflake shapes.


What is the difference between large snowflakes and small snowflakes?

Large snowflakes have more water vapor that freezes onto the crystal, resulting in bigger and more complex shapes. Small snowflakes form in colder temperatures with less humidity, leading to simpler and smaller shapes.


Why are no two snowflakes alike?

No two snowflakes are alike because the formation of each snowflake is influenced by a unique path through the atmosphere, which causes variations in temperature and humidity that result in individualized crystal formations. The complex and variable conditions in which snowflakes develop lead to their diverse and intricate shapes.

How many different shaped snowflakes are there?

Snowflakes can have potentially infinite shapes due to variations in temperature, humidity, and other factors during their formation. Each snowflake is unique, and it is estimated that there can be trillions of different variations in their shapes.


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 shapes are there including human animal and plant shapes?

Near enough infinitely many. There are million of shapes for snowflakes, alone.


How many different shapes of snowflakes do scientists think exist?

due to strong hydrogen bonding between water as compare to ice form


What shapes are snowflakes and why do they form in those specific shapes?

Snowflakes are typically hexagonal in shape because of the way water molecules arrange themselves when freezing. As water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and freezes, it forms ice crystals that grow in a hexagonal pattern due to the molecular structure of water. This results in the unique and intricate shapes of snowflakes that we see.


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.


Can you explain the difference between snowflakes and snow crystals?

Snowflakes and snow crystals are both formed from frozen water vapor, but they have different structures. Snowflakes are clusters of snow crystals that stick together as they fall from the sky. Snow crystals are individual ice crystals that form in the atmosphere. Snowflakes can have a variety of shapes and sizes, while snow crystals typically have a hexagonal shape.
