Rain is made up of water droplets, sleet is made up of small ice pellets.

Actually they are the same; sleet is frozen rain, or ice pellets. This is not to be confused with FREEZING rain, which is rain that freezes near the ground level if it is colder than above. Sleet is already frozen when it hits.
