Macro photography of a natural snowflake. A snowflake is a single ice crystal that is large enough to fall through the Earth's atmosphere as snow. [1] [2] [3] Snow appears white in color despite being made of clear ice. This is because the many small crystal facets of the snowflakes scatter the sunlight between them. [4]
The Koch snowflake (also known as the Koch curve, Koch star, or Koch island [1] [2]) is a fractal curve and one of the earliest fractals to have been described. It is based on the Koch curve, which appeared in a 1904 paper titled "On a Continuous Curve Without Tangents, Constructible from Elementary Geometry" [3] by the Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch.
Three anti-snowflakes arranged in a way that a koch-snowflake forms in between the anti-snowflakes. 1.2619: Koch curve: 3 Koch curves form the Koch snowflake or the anti-snowflake. 1.2619: boundary of Terdragon curve: L-system: same as dragon curve with angle = 30°.
Self-similarity is a typical property of fractals. Scale invariance is an exact form of self-similarity where at any magnification there is a smaller piece of the object that is similar to the whole. For instance, a side of the Koch snowflake is both symmetrical and scale-invariant; it can be continually magnified 3x without changing shape. The ...
Vicsek fractal (5th iteration of cross form) In mathematics the Vicsek fractal, also known as Vicsek snowflake or box fractal, [1] [2] is a fractal arising from a construction similar to that of the Sierpiński carpet, proposed by Tamás Vicsek. It has applications including as compact antennas, particularly in cellular phones.
Shares of data company Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW) soared 52.2% during November, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The stock was already up about 15% in the first half of ...
A snowflake consists of roughly 10 19 water molecules which are added to its core at different rates and in different patterns depending on the changing temperature and humidity within the atmosphere that the snowflake falls through on its way to the ground. As a result, snowflakes differ from each other though they follow similar patterns. [17 ...
