One Correction: "Freezed Water" label is incorrect, it should be "Frozen Water"
A snowflake begins to form when a super-cooled water droplet in the sky freezes onto a dust particle or pollen forming a tiny ice crystal. However, when water freezes, its molecules arrange themselves in a hexagonal pattern, thus giving the crystal a hexagonal shape. Now, as the ice crystal keeps falling, it comes in contact with more water. As a result, the water starts freezing on the six corners of the ice crystal, causing branches to grow on the corners and thus, giving us a beautiful snowflake.
Also, as the atmospheric conditions are the same on all sides of the snowflake, the branches grow identically, thus making the snowflake symmetrical. But since every snowflake follows a different path to the ground, it encounters different atmospheric conditions. Hence, it is said that no two snowflakes are the same. They all tend to be unique.
