How does hail fall to the ground?

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.


When hail falls from clouds what is it called?

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.
