How are sleet and hail the same?

Answer 1

Snow is a delicate structure of ice crystals. Sleet is ice in small pellet form, very near the melting point and often mixed or coated with liquid water,

Snow forms in a cold air (below freezing) and falls to ground in cold air. Sleet may be snow that has fallen through a warm layer of air, melted, then through a colder layer where it freezes again. It can also be rain that falls from a warm layer of air (above freezing) and passes through cold air (below freezing) on the way down, freezing into small ice pellets.

Note: If the air is warm (above freezing) from the condensation level all the way to the ground, and the objects on the ground are below freezing, the fallen rain freezes onto the objects on the ground. This is called freezing rain.

Answer 2

Sleet and hail are both forms of frozen precipitation. They are different in how they form, with sleet forming when rain freezes as it falls through a layer of cold air near the ground, and hail forming in thunderstorms when updrafts carry water droplets to high altitudes where they freeze before falling to the ground.

Answer 3

It starts as water vapor and changes to a solid.

Answer 4

They aren't. Sleet is a snow/rain mix, hail are frozen balls, usually about the size of peas, but bigger can happen.

Answer 5

they are both water. one is just more frozen then the other.... they are equally dangerous.... actually i think sleet is dangerouser

Answer 6

Ice and snow are alike because they are essentially the same thing. They are both created from precipitation that has been frozen.

Answer 7

.... They're both cold

Answer 8

How are seet and hail alike

Answer 9

Because it is all wet
