Professor Explain 🤯 on Instagram: "Snowflakes develop their unique shapes through the growth of hexagonal ice crystals. As each flake forms, tiny variations in temperature and humidity influence how the crystal expands, creating intricate patterns.

According to NOAA research, the interplay of physics and c
