What is snow made out of and how?
Snow is made from water evaporated into clouds and then when it falls,if its cold enough it freezes and turns into snow.
What creates snow?
God crying when it's cold outside. Clouds. You see, the water EVAPORATES and makes clouds. Then, the water falls out of the clouds. It freezes on it's way down, and that's how you make snow!!!!
What type of precipitation forms as rain falls though a layer of freezing air?
the water in the air freezes in extreme cold that is why it forms ice,the solid version of water these pieces of ice falling from the clouds are called as hail .
When hail falls from clouds what is it called?
Any form if water falling from the clouds wether it be rain, sleet, snow or hail is considered precipitation.
What temperature does the air need to be for it to snow?
The air at ground level or the air at the altitude where the snow forms? Snow forms in clouds and then falls. Therefore it can be and usually is warmer at ground level than in the clouds...Answer...water moisture freezes at 0° C or 32° F so it would have to be freezing in the clouds where the snow forms.
When rain falls from clouds and freezes along the way?
sleet
Is snow freezing rain or just white stuff that freezes in the clouds and falls down?
ANSWER:Sleet is frozen rain.

Why do hailstorms form in cumulonimbus clouds?
When the rain falls from the top of the cloud, since Cumulonimbus clouds are big the rain freezes up and turns into a ball of ice before it hits the ground.
What makes freezing water vapor inside clouds?
Freezing water vapor inside clouds makes sleet when it falls to the ground. Freezing rain is rain that is liquid when it leaves the clouds but freezes when it hits the ground.
What type of precipitation forms as rain falls though a layer of freezing air?
the water in the air freezes in extreme cold that is why it forms ice,the solid version of water these pieces of ice falling from the clouds are called as hail .
How Snow and sleet are different?
If the water vapor freezes , it falls as snow.If the rain freezes on the way down it falls as sleet.
Can mammary clouds produce hail?
Ummm . . . there are no "Mammary" clouds. 'Mammary' pertains to something that produces milk for the baby animal. Clouds, particularly nimbus clouds and cumulonimbus clouds can produce water droplets which fall and are then called, "Rain". If this rain freezes on the way to the ground, it is called, "Sleet". If it freezes then is blown back up to the cloud to gather another layer of water (many times), the frozen drop gets larger and larger until finally, it is too heavy for the wind to blow it back up into the cloud any more. Then it falls to the ground and is called, "Hail". I hope this is what you wanted to know . . . A different take on this question. The word for certain clouds associated with tornadoes is cumulonimbus mammatus (essentially mammary clouds) so named because of the cloud's pendulous mammary like appearance . There is often hail associated with tornadoes so, the answers to this question is yes.

Does snow mean that rain falls through cold air?
Snow can only be formed in clouds when ice crystals grow around condensation nuclei. Rain that falls through cold air and freezes is called sleet (ice pellets), unless it doesn't freeze until hitting the surface, in which case it is called freezing rain (or glaze, in some parts of the world).
