What kind of precipitation occurs when water droplets freeze as they fall to earth?
When water droplets freeze as they fall to Earth, they form snow or sleet, depending on the temperature conditions in the atmosphere. Snow forms when the droplets freeze completely, creating intricate ice crystals. Sleet occurs when the droplets freeze partially before reaching the ground, leading to ice pellets.
Today you can expect the ground to get cold enough for vapor in the air to condense into water droplets which will be deposited on the ground?
Today's weather forecast indicates that the temperature is likely to drop to the dew point, causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid droplets. These droplets will then settle on the ground in the form of dew.
What happens when water droplets hit ice pellets in a cloud and freeze?
When water droplets hit ice pellets in a cloud and freeze, they form larger ice particles called graupel. This process is known as accretion. Graupel can continue to grow as more water droplets freeze onto it, eventually becoming large enough to fall as precipitation.
What are lumps of ice can be as big as a baseballs called?
Those are called hailstones. They form in strong thunderstorms when updrafts carry water droplets high into the cold upper atmosphere, where they freeze and accumulate layers of ice before falling to the ground.
On Earth rain falls to the ground from which of these things?
Rain falls to the ground from clouds when water droplets in the clouds combine to form larger droplets that become heavy enough to fall due to gravity.
What is Rain droplets that freeze before hitting the ground called?
Snow, sleet or hail,

What happens to water drops to turn them into snow?
Water droplets turn into snow when the temperature is cold enough for them to freeze. As the droplets freeze, they form ice crystals which then accumulate to form snowflakes. Snowflakes can continue to grow in size as they fall through the atmosphere before reaching the ground.
What state of matter is hail?
Hail is a solid state of matter. It forms when updrafts in thunderstorms carry water droplets high into the atmosphere where they freeze. These frozen droplets grow in size as they collide with other frozen droplets, eventually falling to the ground as hailstones.
In the wintertime why don't entire clouds freeze and fall to the ground?
In winter entire clouds don't freeze and fall to the ground because the air they are floating in is warming than the air on the ground. In addition some clouds are already made of very tiny ice crystals which are light enough to float.
Today you can expect the ground to get cold enough for vapor in the air to condense into water droplets which will be deposited on the ground?
Today's weather forecast indicates that the temperature is likely to drop to the dew point, causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid droplets. These droplets will then settle on the ground in the form of dew.
Why water vapor is important to weather production?
Water vapor is important because it creates clouds and it's water molecules combine to form water droplets that can either fall to the ground as rain, or freeze and fall to the ground as sleet, snow, or hail.
Hail falls to the ground because of the force of?
gravity pulling it down. When water droplets in a cloud are carried upward due to strong air currents, they freeze into ice pellets. As they become heavier, they eventually fall to the ground as hail.
What happens when water droplets hit ice pellets in a cloud and freeze?
When water droplets hit ice pellets in a cloud and freeze, they form larger ice particles called graupel. This process is known as accretion. Graupel can continue to grow as more water droplets freeze onto it, eventually becoming large enough to fall as precipitation.
What type of precipitation occurs as rain droplets move up and down through freezing and non freezing air?
Sleet occurs when rain droplets fall through a layer of freezing air close to the ground, causing them to freeze into ice pellets before reaching the surface.
How do you get tar sand out of the ground?
The oil sands are dug out of the ground with huge shovels and dumped in ...droplets to merge in to bigger water droplets so they can be separated out.
Frozen rain droplets created by the up drafts of convection thunderstorms?
Frozen rain droplets can form in thunderstorms when raindrops get carried into colder upper atmosphere regions where they freeze. These frozen droplets, called hail, can grow larger as they are carried by updrafts within the storm, eventually falling to the ground when they become too heavy to be supported by the updraft.
