What are droplets that freeze as they get closer to the ground?

Rain droplets that freeze before reaching the ground is called sleet.Sleet is snowflakes and rain. Frozen droplets are usually known as hail.


What kind of precipitation occurs when water droplets freeze as they fall to earth?

When water droplets freeze as they fall to Earth, they form snow or sleet, depending on the temperature conditions in the atmosphere. Snow forms when the droplets freeze completely, creating intricate ice crystals. Sleet occurs when the droplets freeze partially before reaching the ground, leading to ice pellets.


What happens when water droplets hit ice pellets in a cloud and freeze?

When water droplets hit ice pellets in a cloud and freeze, they form larger ice particles called graupel. This process is known as accretion. Graupel can continue to grow as more water droplets freeze onto it, eventually becoming large enough to fall as precipitation.


What are lumps of ice can be as big as a baseballs called?

Those are called hailstones. They form in strong thunderstorms when updrafts carry water droplets high into the cold upper atmosphere, where they freeze and accumulate layers of ice before falling to the ground.


What happens to water drops to turn them into snow?

Water droplets turn into snow when the temperature is cold enough for them to freeze. As the droplets freeze, they form ice crystals which then accumulate to form snowflakes. Snowflakes can continue to grow in size as they fall through the atmosphere before reaching the ground.


Compare and contrast sleet and hail?

Sleet is snow that melts in the sky and re-freezes before hitting the ground as ice pellets and Freezing rain is snow that melts into water and doesn't re-freeze before hitting the ground...but the ground temperature is below 32 degrees, so the rain will freeze on contact causing a glaze of ice.


What are frozen water drops?

If they freeze on the way to hitting the earths surface, they are called sleet. You can tell the difference between hail (which freezes before it leaves the cloud) is that sleet bounces when it hits the ground. You are talking about weather, right?


Which of the four droplets would freeze fastest why?

The answer would depend on the difference between the four droplets. But because that information is not provided, it is not possible to give a sensible answer.


Can clouds freeze in the atmosphere?

Yes, clouds can freeze in the atmosphere when the temperature is below freezing. This can happen at higher altitudes where temperatures are colder, causing water droplets in the clouds to freeze into ice crystals.


When cloud droplets collect and freeze around and ice crystal and the process repeats over and over?

No


What temperature would it have to be to freeze your pee before it hits the ground?

If it was cold enough to freeze the urine in mid-stream, it would be cold enough to give you a severe case of frostbite on your privates.


What type of precipitation occurs as rain droplets move up and down through freezing and non freezing air?

Sleet occurs when rain droplets fall through a layer of freezing air close to the ground, causing them to freeze into ice pellets before reaching the surface.
