When bits of crystals form in clouds, they may fall to the ground as snowflakes or ice crystals, depending on the temperature and atmospheric conditions. If the crystals accumulate and become heavy enough, they can also form sleet or hail. The specific form that the precipitation takes is influenced by factors such as humidity, temperature, and the vertical movement of air within the cloud.
Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals that form when warm air rises and cools, causing the water vapor to condense. The droplets or crystals gather on tiny particles like dust or salt in the atmosphere, forming visible clouds. Different types of clouds are formed at various altitudes and under different atmospheric conditions.

There isn't a factor in clouds that control snowflake formation.Wet snow: water droplets and ice crystals form. Ice crystals grow. Ice crystals combine and form snowflakes. Snowflakes begin to melt. Dry snow:water droplets and ice crystals form. Ice crystals grow. Ice crystals combine snowflakes. Snowflakes fall without melting.
Cirrus clouds are primarily made out of ice crystals.

Snow crystals form when water vapor condenses directly into ice. This happens in the clouds.
Cold-air clouds, such as cumulus and stratocumulus clouds, are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air. These clouds typically form at low altitudes and are associated with stable atmospheric conditions. The cloud droplets or ice crystals in cold-air clouds are much smaller compared to those in rain clouds, which is why they often appear bright white.

No, stratus clouds are primarily composed of water droplets. These clouds are low-lying, layered clouds that form in stable atmospheric conditions. However, high-altitude stratus clouds may contain ice crystals if temperatures are cold enough.
Yes, iodized salt can form crystals under the right conditions. When a saturated salt solution is allowed to evaporate slowly, the salt crystals can form as the water evaporates, leaving the salt behind.
Cirrus clouds are high enough to be at a low enough temperature for the water droplets to form into ice crystals. However, Cirrus clouds are not precipitation clouds, so no snow or rain can fall from them. The clouds that can cause snow to fall in the right conditions are Nimbostratus and Cumulonimbus clouds.

Cirrus clouds form at higher altitudes because they are composed of ice crystals that require cold temperatures to exist. These clouds typically form in the upper troposphere where temperatures are low enough for the ice crystals to form and remain suspended in the air.
