SUMMARY
The number of Bravais lattices is limited to 14 due to the constraints imposed by symmetry operations in crystallography. These lattices represent the distinct ways in which points can be arranged in space, and their classification is directly tied to the symmetry of the crystal systems. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding symmetry in determining the possible lattice structures. For further details, refer to the resource provided by Fred on symmetry and crystal systems.
