Ice crystal formed by individual water molecules that are suspended in a gas or fluid coming in contact with and freezing to a super structure make snowflakes (larger).

Ice formed from a bunch of liquid water molecules pooled together, not aerosolized or evaporated or dissolved into a gas or fluid, makes ice.

Basically it’s density before and after.
