Hail falls out of the sky when the updrafts in a thunderstorm can no longer support the weight of the hailstone, causing it to drop to the ground.
Hail falls from the sky when strong updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops high into the cold upper atmosphere, where they freeze into ice pellets. These pellets grow larger as they are carried up and down by the updrafts, eventually becoming heavy enough to fall to the ground as hail.
The word "hail" (frozen rain) together with its German and Dutch relative "hagel", comes from the prehistoric West Germanic word "hagalaz", which is related to the Greek word "kákhlēx", which means... "pebble".
