The anatomy of snowflakes has been studied for hundreds of years. But just what is it that makes one snowflake differ from ...

“Snowflakes are far more varied and interesting than we had previously imagined,” said Tim Garrett, an atmospheric physicist at the University of Utah. Take a journey to see how ice crystals ...

It turns out snowflakes are ice crystals. On Earth, snowflakes are hexagonal. That means they’re crystals with six sides. When a snowflake falls, it can land in lots of different positions.

forming an ice crystal. Other droplets freeze onto the crystal, forming the six arms of the snowflake. The crystal structure of the snowflake is mostly determined by temperature as it forms.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Snowflakes form when a cold water droplet freezes onto particulates (like dust or pollen) in the atmosphere, creating an ice crystal. As the ice crystal falls through the sky, ...

This messy mix of winter precipitation often impacts the region during late winter and early spring. Meteorologist John Burchfield explains what differentiates them.

Glacial Star combines elements of ice and crystal, resembling a snowflake. Despite being weak to common types, the Glacial Star concept garners fan attention. A Pokemon fan artist took to social ...
