The four forms of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain is liquid water falling from clouds, snow is frozen water crystals, sleet is a mixture of rain and snow that partially melts before reaching the ground, and hail is round balls of ice that form in strong thunderstorms.


Kind of precipitation?

Precipitation includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain is the most common type of precipitation and occurs when water droplets in the atmosphere combine and fall to the ground. Snow forms when water vapor freezes into ice crystals, sleet is a frozen mix of rain and snow, and hail forms when strong updrafts carry water droplets high into a storm cloud where they freeze and grow before falling to the ground.

The four major types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain is liquid water droplets falling to the ground, snow is ice crystals falling to the ground, sleet is rain that freezes as it falls, and hail is ice pellets formed in strong thunderstorms.


When water falls from clouds what forms can it take?

When water falls from clouds, it can take the forms of rain, snow, sleet, or hail depending on the atmospheric conditions such as temperature. Rain occurs when the temperatures are above freezing, while snow forms when the temperatures are below freezing. Sleet is a mix of rain and snow, and hail forms when strong updrafts in thunderstorms cause raindrops to be carried upward and freeze before falling.
