It starts life when water vapour in a cloud condenses onto a nucleating particle which may be a bit of dust. The droplet falls through the cloud. However, it is caught by an updraft which takes it up into higher and much colder regions of the cloud where it freezes. At the same time more vapour condenses on it and so it becomes a bigger piece of hail. It falls, due to gravity, only to be caught in another updraft. After several journeys up and down the cloud, the hail is too heavy for an updraft to raise it and so it falls to earth.

Why does it hail when there's no tornado outside?
Tornadoes themselves are not the cause of hail, thunderstorms are. In order to produce hail a storm must have a strong updraft to keep hailstones in the air as they form and a fairly large amount of turbulence to create the cycle that forms hail. Tornadoes also need a strong updraft to form but also need other factors such as rotation in the storm to form, but this rotation isn't needed for hail.
Will a protostar form near the end of a star's life cycle?
No, a protostar is basically the BEGINNING of a star's life cycle.
What happens to water vapor in the water cycle?
Water vapor in the water cycle evaporates from bodies of water, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses to form clouds, and then falls back to the Earth's surface as precipitation in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This cycle of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation repeats continuously.
Does a tornado have hail?
Tornadoes are often but not always accompanied by hail. However, the hail is not a result of the tornado itself but the storm that produces the tornado.
What is a good science fair title dealing with star life cycle?
Life Cycle of a Star
Does hail go with the water cycle?
Hail does go through the water cycle. Hail is a form of precipitation just like rain, sleet, snow and ice. Hail is a part of the water cycle and follows the same pattern as other forms of precipitation.
What link show and hail to water cycle?
i know achuly i dont
Can the water cycle make hail?
Yes, the water cycle can lead to the formation of hail. Hail forms when updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops into colder upper atmosphere layers where they freeze into ice pellets. These pellets grow as they are lifted and fall back to the ground as hailstones.
What is the nonexamples of water cycle?
examples of a water cycle is hail, sleet, snow and rain and sometime vapor from the water raises.
What in the water cycle evaporated water?
comes back down to earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, this cycle must be repeated
The stronger the updraft the more times the hail goes through the cycle so it does what?
it gets bigger.
What has to take in the place step of the water cycle for snow or hail to fall instead of rain?
FREEZING
What is precipitation in a cycle?
liquid or solid water falls to the ground as rain,sleet,snow,and hail
What is a life cycle to a white wolf?
it is a life cycle to them or their life.
What role does the water cycle play in aquifers groundwater and watersheds?
Groundwater is related to the water cycle because it is precipitation meaning it has rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
