Snowflakes have six sides. All snowflakes contain six sides or points owing to the way in which they form. The molecules in ice crystals join to one another in a hexagonal structure, an arrangement which allows water molecules - each with one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms - to form together in the most efficient way. It is these hexagonal structures which when repeated successively give a snowflake it six-sided shape.
In a typical winter storm, snowflakes begin their descent from a cloud layer about ten thousand feet above the ground. Assuming an average fall speed of 3.5 feet per second, a snowflake would take more than 45 minutes to reach Earth.ear Ron, Snow expert and Colorado assistant state climatologist Nolan Doesken states the vast majority of snowflakes fall at speeds between 1 to 6 feet per second. A snowflake's surface area and its mass are the most important factors in determining the rate of fall.
