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?

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.
Why are snowflakes symmetrical?
Snowflakes are symmetrical because they form in a hexagonal shape due to the way water molecules arrange themselves when freezing. This symmetry is a result of the molecular structure of water and the conditions in which snowflakes form.
Are all snowflakes symetrical?
An intact snowflake has a hexagonal symetry. I don't think that there are any exceptions
What shapes are snowflakes and why do they form in those specific shapes?
Snowflakes are typically hexagonal in shape because of the way water molecules arrange themselves when freezing. As water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and freezes, it forms ice crystals that grow in a hexagonal pattern due to the molecular structure of water. This results in the unique and intricate shapes of snowflakes that we see.
Why are all snowflakes hexagrams?
Snowflakes typically have a hexagonal shape due to the arrangement of water molecules in an ice crystal lattice. This hexagonal structure is a result of the hydrogen bonds formed between water molecules as they freeze, leading to six-fold symmetry in snowflake crystals.
What are two objects from natures whose shapes are hexagonal?
Honeycomb? Some snowflakes? Some minerals or crystals also maybe?
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 you explain the difference between snowflakes and snow crystals?
Snowflakes and snow crystals are both formed from frozen water vapor, but they have different structures. Snowflakes are clusters of snow crystals that stick together as they fall from the sky. Snow crystals are individual ice crystals that form in the atmosphere. Snowflakes can have a variety of shapes and sizes, while snow crystals typically have a hexagonal shape.
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.
When do columns in snowflakes form?
Columns in snowflakes typically form when water vapor in clouds freezes into ice crystals. As these crystals grow, they develop a hexagonal structure due to the molecular arrangement of water molecules. Factors like temperature and humidity influence the shape and size of the crystals, leading to the unique, intricate patterns observed in snowflakes. The process occurs in the atmosphere before the snowflakes fall to the ground.
When it snows are the snowflakes the same?
No, snowflakes are not the same; each one is unique due to the varying conditions of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure as they form. While they all share a hexagonal structure, the specific conditions during their formation lead to countless variations in shape and size. Even snowflakes that appear similar under a microscope often have subtle differences. Hence, the saying that "no two snowflakes are alike" holds true.
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 is a 6 sided ice crystal?
A 6-sided ice crystal is typically referred to as a hexagonal ice crystal. It forms when water molecules freeze together in a hexagonal pattern due to the molecular structure of water. These crystals are commonly seen in snowflakes.
