Why Is the Shape of a Snowflake So Perfect?

Snowflakes are like tiny ice sculptures made in the sky. They start as a small dot of ice, and then more ice builds around it, but here's the fun part: they grow symmetrically because of the way water molecules stick together. Just like how you might fold paper to make a flower with six petals, each snowflake ends up having six sides. That’s why every snowflake is a perfect little six-pointed star, even though no two look the same!
