Drops of rain form when water evaporates and turns into water vapor. While it is in the sky it condenses, and becomes water again. Then the water falls in droplets.
If it is cold enough, these drops can also turn into sleet, hail, or snow.
When strong winds toss ice crystals up and down in a cloud, it can lead to the formation of hail. As the ice crystals are carried up and down in the cloud, they encounter different temperature zones that cause them to grow larger. Eventually, the ice crystals become too heavy to be supported by the wind and fall to the ground as hail.
Cirrus clouds are primarily made out of ice crystals.
A cloud is a dense visible mass of suspended water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Water changes into a solid inside a cloud through a process called nucleation, where water vapor condenses onto particles like dust or ice crystals to form ice crystals. These ice crystals then grow as they collide with other water droplets, eventually becoming large enough to fall as snow or hail.
Water vapor in a cloud is converted into ice crystals due to a process called deposition, where water vapor directly changes state from gas to solid without becoming a liquid first. This typically occurs at temperatures below freezing, allowing the formation of ice crystals, which can then contribute to the growth of precipitation particles in the cloud.
Snow forms when water vapor in a cloud condenses directly into ice crystals, bypassing the liquid stage. These ice crystals then continue to grow in the cloud until they become heavy enough to fall to the ground as snowflakes.
When the temperature of a cloud is below -18 degrees C, the cloud consists almost entirely of ice crystals. These ice crystals can grow and combine to form larger ice particles, leading to precipitation such as snow or hail.

No. Rain comes from clouds, but the clouds do not sweat. Clouds are made of water droplets, ice crystals, or a combination of the two. Rain falls when ice crystals grow inside a cloud, melt, and fall to the ground.
Cirrus clouds are primarily made out of ice crystals.
All snow begins as snow through what is called the Bergeron process. Water droplets within a cloud get drawn to the tiny ice crystals in the cloud due to their lower vapor pressure. In doing so, they diffuse onto the ice crystals, causing them to grow. When they become large enough, they fall out of the cloud as snowflakes.
A cloud is a large collection of very tiny droplets of water or ice crystals.The droplets are so small they can float in the air. All clouds have some ice crystals but a "pogonip " is a dense winter fog containing ice particles.
When the temperature of a cloud is below -18 degrees Celsius, the cloud consists almost entirely of ice crystals. Water droplets freeze around condensation nuclei at these temperatures, forming ice crystals that make up the cloud.

When the temperature of a cloud is below 18°C, the cloud consists almost entirely of ice crystals. This is because water droplets freeze into ice crystals at temperatures below 0°C. These ice crystals can then collide and combine to form snowflakes.
