Temperature often rises and falls throughout the different layers of the atmosphere due to varying absorption of solar radiation and the composition of gases. In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude, while in the stratosphere, it increases due to ozone absorption of UV radiation. The mesosphere sees a decrease in temperature again, and in the thermosphere, temperatures rise significantly due to the absorption of high-energy solar radiation. These variations are influenced by factors such as pressure, density, and the presence of greenhouse gases.
When liquid water falls from the atmosphere, it is called rain.
Stars appear to twinkle. The density of air affects how light bends as it passes through the atmosphere. When patches of air of different density come between a star and our eyes, we see different rays of light coming from slightly different parts of the star. The constant movement of air in the atmosphere means stars seem to twinkle.
When a satellite falls out of orbit, it will typically re-enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to the heat generated by friction with the air. If any parts of the satellite survive re-entry, they will likely land in the ocean or in unpopulated areas.
Precipitation falls from clouds in the atmosphere. It can include rain, snow, sleet, or hail depending on the temperature and atmospheric conditions at the time.

The layers are defined primarily by the "lapse rate", or change in temperature with increasing altitude. The lapse rate is negative (temperature falls) in the troposphere, but positive (temperature rises) in the stratosphere. Temperatures decrease again when ascending into the Mesosphere.

The crystalline water that falls out of the cold atmosphere is known as snow. Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals and then falls to the ground.
what is the answer
Hailstorms have layers because it makes the hail get bigger. That way it can be more powerful and big when it falls down to the Earth.
Precipitation occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into liquid or solid forms and falls to the Earth's surface. The type of precipitation that falls (rain, snow, sleet, or hail) is determined by the temperature of the atmosphere at different altitudes. Warmer temperatures typically result in rain, while colder temperatures lead to snow or other frozen forms of precipitation.
If it falls on the Earth, it would be called a meteorite. If it burns up in the atmosphere, it is called a meteor and if it doesn't enter the atmosphere it is a meteoroid.
A rock or metal that plummets through the atmosphere and falls to Earth is called a meteorite. When a meteoroid survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface, it is referred to as a meteorite.
A meteorite is a piece of rock that strikes the earth's surface.
