How many drops of rain fall on a house during a thunderstorm?
It is impossible to give an exact number as it can vary greatly depending on the intensity and duration of the thunderstorm. However, millions to billions of raindrops could potentially fall on a single house during a severe thunderstorm.
Why sheltering under a tree during a thunderstorm?
Sheltering under a tree during a thunderstorm is dangerous because trees can attract lightning due to their height and moisture content. Lightning could potentially strike the tree and cause injury to anyone seeking shelter under it. It is safer to seek shelter in a sturdy building or a hardtop car during a thunderstorm.
What is the sequence the stages of the formation of a thunderstorm?
The first stage is the cumulus cloud stage in which the fluffy cumulus cloud in an unstable (warm and moist near surface and very cold aloft) builds into a towing cumulus. All we have is an updraft! In the next stage, the mature stage rain begins to fall dragging down cool air and evaporating into the downdraft and cooling it. Then we have an updraft and a downdraft together. When the mature thunderstorm reaches way up in the atmospehere to the tropopause (boundary between the layer of the atmospehere where sensible weather occurs and the stratosphere) an anvil shape becomes evident. The final stage is the dissipating stage. The rain and rain cooled air become so dominant that the updraft dies and all that is left is the downdraft. The thunderstorm dies without an updraft.
Within a thunderstorm cell does the temperature fall or rise with increasing altitude?
Temperatures fall with height in a thunderstorm cell. Temperatures generally fall with height in the atmosphere unless there's an inversion present (and those lead to a stable atmosphere not favorable for thunderstorm development)....So if there's thunderstorms present, temperatures should be falling with height.
Why does it hail during a rainstorm?
Hail forms during a rainstorm when strong updrafts in a thunderstorm carry raindrops high into the cold upper atmosphere where they freeze into ice pellets. These ice pellets grow larger as they are carried up and down by the updrafts, eventually becoming heavy enough to fall to the ground as hailstones.
What stage of a thunderstorm does precipitation fall?
Precipitation falls during the mature stage of a thunderstorm when the updraft and downdraft coexist, allowing rain, hail, or other forms of precipitation to reach the ground.
Can it snow during a thunderstorm?
Yes, it is possible for snow to fall during a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms can occur when there is enough instability in the atmosphere, and if the temperature is cold enough, snow rather than rain can fall during these conditions.
How many drops of rain fall on a house during a thunderstorm?
It is impossible to give an exact number as it can vary greatly depending on the intensity and duration of the thunderstorm. However, millions to billions of raindrops could potentially fall on a single house during a severe thunderstorm.
Is hail thermal energy?
No. Hail consists of pieces of ice that fall during a thunderstorm. The energy they have is kinetic energy.
Can hail fall in a thunderstorm?
if the temperature is above 90 degrees ,the answer is no !

What happens inside a cloud during the mature stage of a thunderstorm?
Convection cause the rising of air, rising air expands due to decreased pressure, which causes it to cool, which causes condenation. Condensation = rapid cloud building. The cumulus stage is characterized by updraft only.
What happens to the plants and animals when they are in a thunderstorm?
the lightning can fall on plants and it can kill the plants
Why does hail not fall through every thunderstorm?
sometimes it isn't cold enough for the hail to fall in it's ice form.
Why is it dangerous to run under a tall tree when thunderstorm hits?
Running under a tall tree during a thunderstorm is dangerous because the tree can attract lightning due to its height and position. Lightning can strike the tree, leading to the risk of being directly or indirectly hit by the lightning. It is safer to seek shelter in a sturdy building or a low-lying area away from trees during a thunderstorm.
What is the formation of hailstorm?
A hailstorm is formed when air from a thunderstorm is carried upward at a rapid pace. If the water droplets in the air reach a certain altitude, they begin to freeze and fall to the ground. A hailstorm is sometimes the precursor to tornado activity.
