What is symmetry?

Symmetry is a feature of a shape, object, or pattern that has balanced and identical parts, either in terms of its shape, size, orientation, or composition. It is the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis or center, resulting in a harmonious and pleasing visual effect. In other words, a symmetric object or pattern can be divided into two or more parts that are mirror images of each other.
