Every water molecule has a bent “V” shape making them lock together at fixed angles, building a hexagon! But that’s just at the microscopic scale… For more optimistic stories like this, subscribe! #shorts #science #snowflake #winter #snow"

Knowledge Matrix on Instagram: "When you throw boiling water into very cold air, it can instantly turn into a cloud of ice crystals and vapor instead of falling to the ground as liquid. This happens because the boiling water is already close to becoming vapor, and when it's spread into tiny droplets, it has a huge surface area. In freezing temperatures-especially below about -30 °C (-22 °F)-the cold, dry air rapidly cools those droplets, causing them to evaporate or freeze midair into a white, m
