rain drops do not start out as snow or ice. they evaporate from bodies of water go up into the clouds and then fall back down to the ground. when it snows or hails the water first evaporates them becomes a cloud then as it falls back down to earth the freezing air will either turn it to ice or turn it to snow.

What is frozen raindrops?
Frozen raindrops are raindrops that have frozen into ice before reaching the ground. This can happen when rain falls through a layer of cold air near the surface, causing the raindrops to freeze into small ice pellets known as sleet or freezing rain.
Why is ice colder than snow?
In, the freeze first its start snow and then it happen in solid ice so ice is old snow so it is going to be colder than snow i think regards Eusebio0
Name 4 types of precipation?
Rain: Water droplets that fall from clouds. Snow: Ice crystals that fall from clouds. Sleet: Frozen raindrops that partially melt before reaching the ground. Hail: Ice pellets formed in thunderstorm updrafts.
What is Raindrops that cover surface with a coating of ice is called?
Sleet
Describe sleet hail and snow in terms of how each one form?
Sleet:Raindrops fall through a layer of air below 0*C. While it is falling,raindrops freeze into solid particles of ice. Hail:Starts as an ice pellet inside a cold cloud. Strong updrafts carry hailstones up and down. A new layer of ice forms around the hailstone, then eventually falls. Snow:Water vapor in a cloud is converted directly into ice crystals(snow).

When does snowflakes happen?
Snowflakes occur when water vapor in the atmosphere forms ice crystals around dust particles. This typically happens in cold temperatures when moisture in the air freezes and crystallizes into snowflakes. Snowflakes can form in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on the conditions in the atmosphere.

What are frozen raindrops falling from clouds called?
Frozen raindrops are sleet, individual pellets of ice.Snow is formed by ice crystals that form around a particle of dust.Hail is a ball of frozen ice that accumulates by layers in a thunderstorm.
