There are several types, including nimbostratus and different types of cumulus.
Actually they do fall to the earth. Clouds are drops of water and when it rains, snow, hails, or if there is any sleet it is cloud falling through the ground.
precipitation
Precipitation. Usually it is rain, but it could be sleet, snow, or hail.
When moisture in a cloud is heavy enough to fall back on earth, it is called precipitation. This can take the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail depending on the atmospheric conditions.
The moisture in a cloud that is heavy enough to fall back to Earth is called precipitation. This can take the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail depending on the conditions in the atmosphere.
the type of cloud you are looking for is the cummbulinubous it can release mostly anything from sleet hail rain etc.
Rain, hail, snow and sleet can fall in most deserts.
rain hail sleet
When moisture in a cloud is heavy enough to fall back to Earth, it is called precipitation. This can take the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail depending on the atmospheric conditions.
When strong winds toss ice crystals up and down in a cloud, it can lead to the formation of hail. As the ice crystals are carried up and down in the cloud, they encounter different temperature zones that cause them to grow larger. Eventually, the ice crystals become too heavy to be supported by the wind and fall to the ground as hail.
Nimbostratus
Cloud droplets fall to Earth as precipitation when they grow large enough to overcome air resistance. This can happen when they coalesce into larger droplets or freeze into ice crystals. Gravity then pulls them down as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
