The definition of hail is falling balls or chucks of ice. Some argue that sometimes snow is also layered within the ice.
Snowflakes are lighter than the more frozen denser hail.
Hail does go through the water cycle. Hail is a form of precipitation just like rain, sleet, snow and ice. Hail is a part of the water cycle and follows the same pattern as other forms of precipitation.
Yes. Hail is ice. Ice floats in water.
Hail is just ice, so it will float in water.
For atmospheric processes it is called snow (in clouds) or hoar-frost (on landscape level). If it passed through an intermediate water phase, it would be hail.In physics, more in general it is called deposition, the inverse of sublimation, if it is below triple point, where solid and gaseous phase are in equilibrium without liquid phase.
liquid water
Ice, snow, hail etc.
The ice crystals that fall from the sky are called snow or snowflakes.

Pieces of ice falling from clouds is called snow or hail.
Snow is formed from water vapors in cold clouds that have condensed into icy crystals Hail is a form of solid precipitation; ice.
'Sleet' or 'hail'.
Hail are balls of ice and snow falling. Rain is water droplets falling.
SNOW OR ICE
Snowflakes are lighter than the more frozen denser hail.
Not at all. Rain is well...water. Hail is ice. It is much harder than snow and can get quite large.
