All the moisture that falls from the sky is called?
Rain, hail, dew, snow, sleet.
What comes out of clouds?
Rain or hail, usually, with the addition of hail or sleet.
How is sleet diffferent from hail?
Sleet is a weather phenomenon that occurs mostly in winter storms. The clouds where the sleet falls from are warmer than the air below. The sleet begins as rain and, as it falls, freezes, becoming rather small ice pellets. Hail, on the other hand, is a weather phenomenon occurring in summer storms. Rain falls from the warmer bottom of storm clouds. Updrafts in the storm lift the rain to the upper, colder regions of the storm clouds, causing the rain to freeze. As the newly formed hail falls, it gathers more moisture, then is caught in another updraft, lifting it up to freeze again. Each time this happens, the hail becomes larger. Normally, hail cycles through a few updrafts before falling, resulting in pea sized hail. During larger storms, especially those that spawn tornadoes, the updrafts are stronger and can cause much larger hail. Aside from these two is freezing rain. This occurs when the ground is at a freezing temperature and the air is warmer. Rain falls and freezes instantly, causing a sheet of dangerous ice on streets, sidewalks, power lines, etc..

In what form do Water vapor droplets form clouds and Earth's gravity pulls the moisture to the surface?
The moisture drops to the earth as some form of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, hail).
What is precipitation meteorology?
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.
Can conduction create clouds snow sleet rain and hail?
yes
What is snow sleet rain or hail that falls to earth?
Precipitation
