What is rain that passes through a layer of freezing air near earth's surface?
Sleet (ice pellets)
What are 2 kinds of precipitation?
You want all 13? Here are the classics: Rain, Sleet, Snow, Hail, and Mixed. If you need the ones only a Meteorologist would love, then you have Snow Pellets, Snow Grains, Drizzle, Freezing Drizzle, Freezing Rain, Freezing Fog, Ice Crystals and good ol' Graupel (which would be a cool band name)! Tip of the hat to METAR. Cheers!
How can it be raining if the temperature is below freezing?
This is because there is a temperature inversion at the surface, which can occur for several reasons. This means that the air above the surface is actually warmer, and in this case above freezing, than the air right on the ground. This causes snow from higher in the atmosphere to melt into raindrops, but the rain doesn't have enough time to refreeze into ice pellets (Sleet) before reaching the ground, so you get rain. This is called freezing rain though, since those sub-freezing temperatures on the ground cause the rain to freeze on contact. This creates a sheet of ice, or glaze, covering everything.
How snow starts off as sleet?
Sleet starts as snow, then falls through a layer of the atmosphere that is above freezing whereupon it melts into rain. Finally, it falls back into colder air and refreezes as ice pellets (sleet) before reaching the ground.
What is the defanishion of hail?
The gravitational pull of the earth causes objects to fall to the ground.
How is sodium hydroxide available in the laboratory?
Usually in the form of tiny spherical white pellets.
What is shown by the presence of ice pellets at the surface?
is a temperature inversion with freezing rain at a higher altitude.

Sleet (ice pellets)
Water drops that fall and become solid when the temperature is below freezing?
If it freezes in the air, it is called sleet (ice pellets). If it freezes on contact with cold surfaces, it is called freezing rain (called glaze in the UK).
Is hail snow?
No. Snow consists of small crystals of ice that drift down fairly slowly in cold weather systems.Hail consists of solid, usually spherical pellets or chunks of ice that fall from thunderstorms.
Why does moisture come down as ice instead of snow in temps of 20's?
Because the temperature higher in the atmosphere is above freezing, allowing snowflakes to melt into ice. If you're experiencing sleet (ice pellets), that meanst that there is a fairly thick layer of subfreezing air at the surface, allowing the rain to freeze back into ice pellets. If rain is falling and freezing on contact (freezing rain), that means the cold layer at the surface is shallow and the rain has no time to freeze before reaching the surface. It then freezes on contact with cold surfaces, forming a glaze of ice.
What can the pellets be used for?
In fact, many products appear in forms of pellets. They can be used in many fields like animal feed pellets, bedding pellets and home heating pellets,etc.
What kind of items are referred to as pellets?
There are a few things one can refer to when speaking of pellets. There are wood pellets which one can burn in a wood stove. There are pellets for guns such as BB gun pellets as well regular bullets are called pellets too.
What are the four kinds of precipitation?
There is rain, sleet, snow, and hail (most common is rain). :-D Why stop at 4? You want all 13? Here are the classics: Rain, Sleet, Snow, Hail, and Mixed. If you need the ones only a Meteorologis would love, then you have Snow Pellets, Snow Grains, Drizzle, Freezing Drizzle, Freezing Rain, Freezing Fog, Ice Crystals and good ol' Graupel!

Which sre the recommended pellets for crosman phantom?
Crosman pellets are fine. however if you really want quality pellets I suggest H&N pellets
