Not all are shaped as a hexagon. they are only hexagonal if they form in a very high cloud that is 32-35 Fahrenheit.

How is hexagonal prism different to a hexagonal pyramid?
A hexagonal prism has 2 hexagon faces and a hexagonal pyramid has 1 hexagonal face.
What shape has parallel bases eight faces and bases are congruent polygons?
A hexagonal prism.A hexagonal prism.A hexagonal prism.A hexagonal prism.
What is a hexagonal prism?
A prism with a hexagonal base.
How are hexagonal prism and hexagonal pyramid different?
A hexagonal prism has hexagons at each end whereas a hexagonal pyramid has a hexagonal base and an apex. The numbers of faces, shapes of the faces, numbers of edges and vertices are all different.
How many sides is there in a hexagonal prism?
A hexagonal prism is a prism composed of two hexagonal bases and six rectangular sides.
Are all snowflakes symetrical?
An intact snowflake has a hexagonal symetry. I don't think that there are any exceptions
What do you call a 6 pointed star shaped snow crystal?
Snowflakes are of hexagonal shape with dendritic (fern-like) protrusions.
What are two objects from natures whose shapes are hexagonal?
Honeycomb? Some snowflakes? Some minerals or crystals also maybe?
Are all snowflakes the same shape?
Sort of. The shape of crystals is the subject of the scientific field of crystal morphology, and the relationship of the shape of the unit cell (the "hexagonal crystal array" you're talking about) to the shape of the overall crystal is a lot more complicated than that.
What is snowflakes made from?
Snow flakes are made from water vapor in the air that combine to make little ice crystals. The ice crystals like to be in hexagonal forms, and make flakes.
What are basic snowflake shapes?
Well, it may be hard to find two snowflakes that look identical, but you can classify snow crystals according to their shapes. Some types of snowflakes are Hexagonal Plates, Stellar Plates, Stellar Dendrites, Fernlike Stellar Dendrites, and many, many more. Example: This snowflake is a Hexagonal Plates. Each and every snowflake looks different.
How many points a snowflake usually have?
Snowflakes have six sides because water molecules crystalize in a hexagonal shape, as a result, when they connect by bumping into each other, they can only create shapes with six arms or sides.
Why do snow flakes have hexagonal shapes?
First, not all snowflakes are perfectly symmetrical. In fact, the vast majority of snowflakes are asymmetrical. However they appear to be because on a microscopic scale, each side of a crystal being is such close proximity to the other will produce similar results because each molecule was formed under the same environmental conditions simultaneously.
Can snowflakes be natural or manmade?
snowflakes are natural
Are snowflakes made of oxygen?
No, snowflakes are water that has frozen in a certain way that forms snowflakes. But they have oxygen in them.

How is a hexagonal pyramid different to a hexagonal prism?
