cubic symmetry

Cubic symmetry refers to a shape or object that looks the same when rotated around its center in any direction along three perpendicular axes—like a perfect cube. This symmetry means its properties remain unchanged under specific rotations, reflecting a high degree of uniformity in all three dimensions. Many natural crystals, such as salt (NaCl), exhibit cubic symmetry, and it’s a key concept in understanding their structure and behavior. Essentially, objects with cubic symmetry are evenly balanced in all directions, giving them a consistent and predictable appearance from any angle.
