the biggest hail recorded in history was a 7 pounder. there is a picture of it in the article.

What is the life cycle of 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.


Is hail observed directly under a cumulonimbus cloud?

Hail falls in relatively isolated regions under, yes, a cumulonimbus cloud. It can blow around somewhat so it is not always directly under it.


What falls from cumulonimbus?

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.


What kind of cloud does hail form from?

Cumulonimbus clouds.


Hail falls to the ground because of the force of?

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.


What do you do when hail falls?

What falls from a stratus cloud?

What happens when water leaves a clouds?

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.


What is the cloud that produces hail?

Hail comes from cumulonimbus clouds.
