Description

Snow begins high in the clouds when tiny water droplets freeze around dust particles. As more water vapor freezes onto these particles, they grow into crystals. The temperature and humidity shape each crystal into a unique snowflake. Most snowflakes have six sides because of the way water molecules connect. When many crystals stick together, they become the soft flakes we see falling from the sky. Discover the science behind winter’s most magical creation.
