When hail falls to the ground, it is because of the force of FRICTION!! :)
Hail is typically cold because it forms in cold thunderstorm clouds where temperatures at high altitudes are below freezing. As hail falls to the ground, it may retain its cold temperature even if it melts slightly on the way down.
When hail falls, you need to find shelter as soon possible.
Hail is frozen precipitation that forms in thunderstorms, while snow forms in colder clouds. Hail and snow are not the same; hail typically forms in warmer conditions than snow. Once hail falls to the ground, it remains as hail and does not turn into snow.
Hail forms when strong updrafts in a thunderstorm carry raindrops into very cold areas of the atmosphere, where they freeze into ice. These ice particles grow larger as they are lifted and carried by updrafts multiple times before becoming too heavy and falling to the ground as hail.
Hail is frozen balls of ice that form when a drop of water falls from a cloud. It then freezes if the temperature is cold enough in the sky,then falls to the ground as a frozen lump. Hail has been known to be the size of a golf ball!!
When water falls to the ground, it is called precipitation, which can take the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Rain, snow, sleet or hail that falls to the ground
These forms given the general term precipitation.
Hail is generated by upper cloud wind driving frozen water particles up and through clouds. They gain a little more water, it gets frozen and when the wind can no longer carry it up it falls. The temperature on the ground doesn't effect this process much.
Hail falls out of the sky when the updrafts in a thunderstorm can no longer support the weight of the hailstone, causing it to drop to the ground.

When hail falls from clouds, it is called a hailstorm or hail shower. Hail is formed when updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere, where they freeze into ice pellets before falling back to the ground.
