through out all the information on hail I have read, it comes to my idea that the size does not change once the hail has been formed. in the related links box below, I posted the wikipeida hail article.
the biggest hail recorded in history was a 7 pounder. there is a picture of it in the article.
It falls as precipitation, such as rain, or hail.
Rain, snow, or hail.
It starts life when water vapour in a cloud condenses onto a nucleating particle which may be a bit of dust. The droplet falls through the cloud. However, it is caught by an updraft which takes it up into higher and much colder regions of the cloud where it freezes. At the same time more vapour condenses on it and so it becomes a bigger piece of hail. It falls, due to gravity, only to be caught in another updraft. After several journeys up and down the cloud, the hail is too heavy for an updraft to raise it and so it falls to earth.
Hail falls in relatively isolated regions under, yes, a cumulonimbus cloud. It can blow around somewhat so it is not always directly under it.
Depending on the temperature and other conditions, it could be rain, snow or hail. But if the question is about what falls from cumulonimbus that most likely wouldn't fall from other cloud formations, then the answer would be hail. It's the vertical activity that gives the cumulonimbus cloud its distinctive shape, and it's the vertical activity that forms hail...especially large hail stones.
Cumulonimbus clouds.
gravity pulling it down. When water droplets in a cloud are carried upward due to strong air currents, they freeze into ice pellets. As they become heavier, they eventually fall to the ground as hail.
When hail falls, you need to find shelter as soon possible.
Typically light precipitation such as drizzle or light rain falls from a stratus cloud. However, stratus clouds can also produce snow or even ice pellets under certain conditions.
When water becomes too heavy to remain in the air as a cloud, it precipitates. This can be in the form of rain, snow, or hail.
Hail comes from cumulonimbus clouds.
To create hail in Little Alchemy, you need to combine cloud and ice. Drag the cloud icon on top of the ice to make hail.
