Yes. More specifically, hail is a solid form of precipitation and is generally either balls or irregular lumps of ice.

Kind of, a solid is something that doesn't take the shape of the container it's in. For example if you put a stone in an ice-cream container it doesn't take the shape of it as a liquid would therefore it is a solid. A small container in a larger container could be a solid though.

Of course. The "bottle" is solid, the water is liquid. Please ask "real" questions.

liquid take shape of the container because the liquid particles stay together but they still more around. solid does not take the shape of the container, because solid is solid.

Do solids spread to fill a container?

The answer depends on the solid. If you dumped a large solid metal cube into a truck, it would not "spread outward" to fill a container. If you dumped small BBs (think BB gun BBs) into the same truck, the BBs would spread out & fill the container (if you poured enough of the BBs into the container to fill it). Both are solids, but one solid will not 'spread out' like the others.

if you have a container or anything you want to put the like a liquid in it can turn to a solid and the solid can turn to a gas by leaving the container out after it freezes and it will be somkey if you put a little bit of oil in it and it will be a gas and the liquid will turn to water if you use like a pop or juice


How can you determine the volume of a regularly shaped solid?

Put solid in a container ; fill container with water to a known container volume; take object out of container and read the remaining volume. subtract this remaining volumefrom the known volume. This result is the volume of the regular or irregular shaped solid.
