1. Let's state the problem: A regular hexagon has several lines of symmetry, and we want to find how many lines of symmetry it has and the angle between any two adjacent lines of symmetry.
2. A regular hexagon has 6 equal sides and 6 equal angles. It is a highly symmetric shape.
3. The lines of symmetry of a regular hexagon include the lines through opposite vertices and the lines through the midpoints of opposite sides.
4. Since there are 6 vertices and 6 sides, a regular hexagon has exactly 6 lines of symmetry.
5. These 6 lines of symmetry are evenly spaced around the center of the hexagon.
6. The total angle around a point is $360^\circ$.
7. Therefore, the angle between any two adjacent lines of symmetry is the total angle divided by the number of lines of symmetry: $$\frac{360^\circ}{6} = 60^\circ.$$
Answer: A regular hexagon has 6 lines of symmetry, and the angle between any two adjacent lines of symmetry is $60^\circ$.
