Homonym: Snowflakes (Sensitivity)
Snowflakes are unique ice crystals that form in the atmosphere when water vapor freezes. They develop as they fall through different temperature and humidity conditions, resulting in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Each snowflake typically has six symmetrical arms, which is a result of the molecular structure of ice.
The formation of snowflakes begins when tiny water droplets freeze around a particle, such as a dust speck. As the snowflake descends, it collects more water vapor, which freezes and adds to its structure. This process creates intricate patterns, making each snowflake distinct from others, even though they may appear similar at a glance.
