How Do Snowflakes Form?

The video explores the intricate beauty of snowflakes, explaining their formation from water vapor in clouds at temperatures of 0°C or lower. It discusses how factors like temperature, humidity, and altitude influence their shapes, ranging from simple hexagonal plates to complex stellar dendrites. The symmetry of snowflakes is due to the ordered arrangement of water molecules forming a lattice. However, snowflakes can also pose dangers, as their accumulation can lead to avalanches, highlighting the dual nature of these fascinating structures.
