It starts with evaporation. The water gets evaporated and turns into clouds. Up highg in the sky it is ice pellets. When it rains the ice melts, when it snows, the collect dust particles and stuff...and when it ices, it stays the same.
Ice rain Ice rain is an interesting mixture of three kinds of preticipation snow rain and sleet to form hail.
Snow does, but rain does not have to. Rain can start through two processes, which are called "collision-coalescence" and "the Bergeron process". The former is the one by which rain never begins as ice, and this is most common in the tropics and in higher latitudes during the warm season.
SNOW OR ICE
Rain, snow, and ice are three forms of precipitation, liquid or ice formed by the condensation of water vapor from the air.
Snow and rain are both water. Rain naturally comes down as water and snow is just ice that soon melts turning into water.
Rain on the polar ice caps? Probably not; snow would be more common.
The rain frezes after a few minutes, because it would be cold out with the snow. The snow turns into ice because of the cold.
* Rain * Snow * Sleet * Hail * Freezing Rain
They all are made of water. Howewer snow is only frozen rain. Ice is simple frozen water.
Not necessarily. Rain is most certainly precipitation but precipitation can be rain, hail or snow for example. Other recognized forms are ice pellets, snow grains, snow pellets, and drizzle (which is differentiated from rain).
At first when it comes out of the cloud it is rain and it turns to ice and then to snow flakes.
Snow is worse than rain. Ice is worse than snow.
