The definition of hail is falling balls or chucks of ice. Some argue that sometimes snow is also layered within the ice.
Precipitation - the falling to earth of any form of water (rain or snow or hail or sleet or mist) Infiltration - the movement of surface water into rock or soil through cracks and pore spaces. Transpiration - the emission of water vapor from the leaves of plants Condensation - the process of changing from a gaseous to a liquid or solid state Evaporation - the process of becoming a vapor (opposite of condensation
sleet is rain & snow falling at the exact same time
The word "precipitation" covers all kinds of moisture which fall naturally on the earth (i.e. not by sprinklers, for example). Rain is the most common form of precipitation, but other forms include sleet, snow, hail and dew.
Precipitation is when the solid water in the clouds turns into liquid. Precipitation can come in rain, snow, sleet, or hail. If the temperature near the ground is cold, snow, sleet, and hail all occur.
The moisture drops to the earth as some form of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, hail).
Pieces of ice falling from clouds is called snow or hail.
The process of falling down of water in the form of rain snow or hail called precipitation, precipitation is any form of water liquid or solid falling from the sky.it includes rain, sleet, snow ,hail and drizzle plus a few less common occurrences such as ice pellets , diamond , dust and freezing rain.
Barometric pressure is not affected by moisture in the Earth's atmosphere
1. the quantity of water falling to earth at a specific place within a specified period of time 2. the process of forming a chemical precipitate 3. the falling to earth of any form of water (rain or snow or hail or sleet or mist) Synonyms: downfall 4. the act of casting down or falling headlong from a height 5. an unexpected acceleration or hastening 6. overly eager speed (and possible carelessness) Synonyms: haste, hastiness, hurriedness, hurry
No. Hail is ice; it is cold.
Hail are balls of ice and snow falling. Rain is water droplets falling.
they are similar because they are all precipitation and a form of water. rain is liquid. sleet is liquid that freezes before it hit the ground but then melts when it does hit the ground (like a slushy) and hail is completely frozen into a chunk of ice
Precipitation. Rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
Hail.
SLEET
No. There is not enough moisture to produce anything but light snow on the Antarctic continent.
