How are hailstones made?
Hailstones start off as a snowflake. In order to become a hailstone, a upwind has to blow it back up into the cloud and collect more water, snow, or ice. Then it freezes. This process can happen over and over again until the hailstone is heavy enough to fall out of the cloud. That's the process of a hailstone.
Why do hailstorms occur?
Hail forms in storm clouds when supercooled water droplets freeze on contact with condensation nuclei, such as dust or dirt. The storm's updraft blows the hailstones to the upper part of the cloud. The updraft dissipates and the hailstones fall down, back into the updraft, and are lifted up again. The hailstone gains an ice layer and grows increasingly larger with each ascent. Once a hailstone becomes too heavy to be supported by the storm's updraft, it falls from the cloud. In large hailstones, latent heat released by further freezing may melt the outer shell of the hailstone. The hailstone then may undergo 'wet growth', where the liquid outer shell collects other smaller hailstones.
Why do fog droplets remain suspended in the air?
There are many reasons why fog droplets remain suspended in the air. These droplets are not heavy enough to fall.
Snowflakes and hailstones were once water vapor describe what happens to the vapor to form snowflakes and hailstones?
Water vapor form snowflakes when the temperatures in the air are above freezing and the air should be unsaturated. The water vapor to create hailstones start inside a cumulonimbus cloud and super cooled liquid water are caught in a strong updraft. The cycle continues to increase the size of the hailstone, then eventually falls to the earth's surface.
Why do fog droplets remain suspended?
they are supported by slight movements of the air
What happens when water goes from liquid to solid in a cloud?
It is called hailstones or ice.

A particle of ice falling from a cloud?
What your looking for is this word Megacryometeorhave a look at this pagehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MegacryometeorAlso check out hale, hailstones
What do you call the water droplets suspended in air?
A cloud.
What is a water drops suspended in air called?
Cloud

There are many reasons why fog droplets remain suspended in the air. These droplets are not heavy enough to fall.
What kind of a cloud is cumulonimbus?
Cumulonimbus clouds have a large and tall horizontal appearance. They are capable of producing severe weather conditions such as thunderstorms and hailstones.
What is it called when millions of drops of water suspended in the sky?
Cloud.
Sighns of a tornado?
A wall cloud is suspended from a cumulonimbus cloud (mostly during thunderstorms). Then the wall cloud begins rotating counter-clockwise. Then a funnel cloud will drop from it.
Which kind of precipitation forms when strong winds toss ice crystals up and down in a cloud?
Hailstones is the correct answer please email me at danielletrokey@ymail.com if this helped u r not. Thanks
What happens when millions of drops water are suspended in the sky?
Cloud Formation.
