rain drops do not start out as snow or ice. they evaporate from bodies of water go up into the clouds and then fall back down to the ground. when it snows or hails the water first evaporates them becomes a cloud then as it falls back down to earth the freezing air will either turn it to ice or turn it to snow.
What else can I help you with?
What is frozen raindrops?
Frozen raindrops are raindrops that have frozen into ice before reaching the ground. This can happen when rain falls through a layer of cold air near the surface, causing the raindrops to freeze into small ice pellets known as sleet or freezing rain.
What are the types of percipatation?
The main types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain is liquid water droplets falling from the sky, while snow is ice crystals. Sleet is frozen raindrops or partially melted snowflakes, and hail is balls of ice that form in thunderstorms.
Describe sleet hail and snow in terms of how each one form?
Sleet:Raindrops fall through a layer of air below 0*C. While it is falling,raindrops freeze into solid particles of ice. Hail:Starts as an ice pellet inside a cold cloud. Strong updrafts carry hailstones up and down. A new layer of ice forms around the hailstone, then eventually falls. Snow:Water vapor in a cloud is converted directly into ice crystals(snow).
Name 4 types of precipation?
Rain: Water droplets that fall from clouds. Snow: Ice crystals that fall from clouds. Sleet: Frozen raindrops that partially melt before reaching the ground. Hail: Ice pellets formed in thunderstorm updrafts.
What type of frozen precipitation rhymes with blow?
Sleet is a type of frozen precipitation that rhymes with "blow." It forms when raindrops freeze before reaching the ground, creating small ice pellets.

How does snow turn into sleet and then freezing rain?
Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals. As these snowflakes fall, they pass through warmer air layers, causing them to partially melt and turn into raindrops, which can lead to sleet if they refreeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground. If the raindrops continue to fall through a layer of cold air just above the surface without freezing, they can become supercooled and turn into freezing rain upon contact with cold surfaces, creating a layer of ice.

Are clouds made up of ice crystals?
no they are made out of raindrops
What forms from ice crystals and raindrops in cumulonimbus clouds?
stuff...
What temp in Celsius does rain turn to sleet or snow?
Rain turns to sleet or snow when the temperature drops to or below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). The raindrops freeze into ice pellets (sleet) or snowflakes when the temperature in the atmosphere reaches this threshold.
What is colder snow or ice?
Ice because I know that snow melts ice.And why does snow melts ice???
Most of this southernmost continent is covered by ice and snow?
Antarctica
Is hail snow?
No. Snow consists of small crystals of ice that drift down fairly slowly in cold weather systems.Hail consists of solid, usually spherical pellets or chunks of ice that fall from thunderstorms.
