Symmetry in geometry

It means that one part of an object looks the same as another part when we fold, flip, slide, or turn it.

Symmetry in nature

Refers to a correspondence or balance in size, shape, and relative position of parts on opposite sides of a dividing line or around a central point, creating a sense of harmony and order.

Rotational symmetry

In nature it refers to the characteristic of an object where, when it is rotated around a central point, it looks exactly the same at certain intervals.

Translational symmetry

In nature refers to patterns where a shape or motif is repeated by shifting or sliding it in a specific direction, without rotation or reflection, creating a repeating, regular pattern.

Reflectional symmetry

Occurs when one half of an object is a mirror image of the other half.

Line of symmetry

Are straight lines that divide a shape into two equal parts, where one is an exact reflection of the other.

Fractal symmetry

Is a recurring pattern where a shape or structure repeats itself at different scales, appearing similar whether viewed from a larger or smaller perspectives.

Spiral symmetry

Refers to patterns where structure or objects often exhibit a spiraling or winding arrangement.

Symmetry in art

Balanced and harmonious arrangement of elements where one

Angle of rotation

Measure of the degree by which a figure is rotated around a fixed point to map it onto itself.

Order of rotational symmetry

The number of times the shape fits onto itself during a full 360
