Isotoxal figure 2-dimensional tessellation constructed from regular polygons is isotoxal. For instance, the truncated icosahedron (the familiar soccerball) has two types of edges: hexagon-hexagon and hexagon-pentagon, and it is not possible for a symmetry of the solid to move a hexagon-hexagon edge onto a hexagon-pentagon edge. An isotoxal polyhedron has the same dihedral angle for all edges. There are nine convex isotoxal polyhedra formed from the Platonic solids, 8 formed by the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra, and six more as quasiregular (3 | p q) star polyhedra and their duals. There are at least 5 polygonal tilings of the Euclidean plane that are isotoxal,
Saturn's hexagon Saturn's hexagon Saturn's hexagon is a persisting hexagonal cloud pattern around the north pole of Saturn, located at about 78°N. The sides of the hexagon are about long, which is more than the diameter of Earth (about ). The hexagon may be a bit greater than wide, may be high, and may be a jet stream made of atmospheric gases moving at . It rotates with a period of , the same period as Saturn's radio emissions from its interior. The hexagon does not shift in longitude like other clouds in the visible atmosphere. Saturn's hexagon was discovered during the
