Moist air is cooled below its condensation point.
Relative humidity usually increases before precipitation occurs. As air cools and reaches its dew point, the relative humidity increases due to the saturation of moisture in the air, leading to the formation of clouds and eventually precipitation.
Approximately 71 of the Earth's precipitation occurs over oceans.
Two types of precipitation are rain and snow. Rain occurs when water droplets in clouds become heavy enough to fall to the ground, while snow occurs when water vapor in clouds freezes into ice crystals before falling.
When water droplets in the atmosphere become heavier than the air can hold, they grow in size and eventually fall to the ground as precipitation, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This process is known as condensation and occurs when the air reaches saturation point.
Precipitation over the ocean in the water cycle accounts for about 45 of the total global precipitation.
Precipitation is rain.

Precipitation happens when the weight of condensed water (or ice) is sufficient to cause it to fall. It does not have to reach the ground.
Approximately 71 of the Earth's precipitation occurs over oceans.
Some sort of precipitation occurs when air reaches the dew point. You might get dew, frost, rain or snow.
precipitation
Precipitation in the water cycle occurs when water vapor condenses from the air and falls as water or ice. Normally this is caused by cooling either from an air mass or from a temperature drop at higher altitude. Precipitation in a chemical reaction occurs when chemical products are insoluble in a solution, or when the solution cannot hold the total volume of solutes present.
Tennessee can get any type of precipitation, but rain is most prevalent.
