Sentence:? The dancing snowflakes are dancing, the fluttering is blessing, the lingering is admonishment, the rustling is care, the silent watching is footsteps, and the quiet appreciation is exile. I wish you happiness in the light snow season.
Extended information
Snowflakes are mostly hexagonal. The reason why there are so many patterns is because ice molecules have the most hexagonal shapes. For hexagonal flake ice crystals, because of its surface The curvatures on the top, sides and corners are different, and accordingly they have different saturated water vapor pressures. The saturated water vapor pressure on the corners is the largest, followed by the edges, and the smallest on the plane.
When the actual water vapor pressure is the same, since the saturated water vapor pressure of each part of the ice crystal is different, the growth of sublimation is also different. For example, when the actual water vapor pressure is only greater than the saturated water vapor pressure on the surface, the water vapor only condenses on the surface, forming columnar snowflakes.
When the actual water vapor pressure is greater than the saturated water vapor pressure on the edge, sublimation will occur on the edge and on the surface. Since the speed of sublimation is also related to the curvature, places with large curvature will sublimate faster. Therefore, sublimation will occur faster on the edge of the ice crystal than on the surface, and flake-like snowflakes will often be formed.
