It is most commonly used to describe the physical appearance of certain objects or phenomena that exhibit a radial symmetry or a star-like pattern.

The term is not exclusive to natural occurrences; it can also be applied to man-made objects or designs that have been intentionally created with a star-like form.

In the context of botany, "tähtisvärkis" might be used to describe flowers that have petals arranged in a radial pattern, resembling a star. Examples include certain species of lilies or star anise. In crystallography, the term can allude to the geometric structure of crystals that grow in a star formation.
