hail can form in 2 specific kind of thundercloud's.

for the `usual` hail, it forms in a Cumulonimbus after the evaporated water condenses and falls. it frees-es in one of the lower lairs of the thundercloud.

it can reach different sises, depending in what area it formed.

near three quarters of the cloud is best for the size. above it turns into snow instead of ice.

for the second one it is about the same story, yet a little bit different.

this one type of hail forms in things called SUPPERCELLS.

these are the clouds witch can massproduse f3 and f4 category tornadoes.

and even create multiple f5 tornadoes and a mythical f6.

here it is the case that the air is rapidly heating and cooling again. this expansion and contraction of the humid air causes it to instant frees.

these can grow to the size of volleyballs and impact with over 2oo m/h if something like that hit you, you will be pretty much dead or if you are lucky, in a coma.

i hope this answers your question, if not i hope you have got a little wiser an i wish you the best of luck finding your answer.

Are all hailstones round?

No, hailstones are not round. They come in different shapes and sizes becasue they are so rough.


What is hailstorm?

A hailstorm is a weather event characterized by strong thunderstorms that produce hailstones. These hailstones are balls of ice that form within the clouds and fall to the ground during the storm. Hailstorms can cause damage to property and crops due to the size and speed of the hailstones.


What are some characteristics of a hailstorm?

A hailstorm is characterized by the formation of hailstones, which are balls of ice that form within thunderstorm clouds. Hailstorms typically occur in conjunction with severe weather, such as thunderstorms or tornadoes. The size of hailstones can vary greatly, from small pellets to large stones that can cause significant damage.


Do you know about Hailstones?

== == Hailstones are raindrops that freeze as they fall through layers of very cold air. When they fall down from the sky hailstones are usually as big as peas. Sometimes they can be as big as tennis balls - so watch out!


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.

What causes hailstones to fall from the sky?

Hailstones form inside thunderstorm clouds when supercooled water droplets freeze onto ice nuclei. As the hailstones grow, they eventually become too heavy for the updrafts in the storm to support, causing them to fall to the ground.

What change of state occurs when hailstones form?

When hailstones form, the change of state that occurs is liquid water droplets in the cloud freezing into ice pellets as they are carried up and down by strong air currents within the thunderstorm cloud.

What are Lumps of ice as big as base balls?

Large chunks of ice that are the size of baseballs are commonly referred to as hailstones. Hailstones form within severe thunderstorms when updrafts carry raindrops into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere, causing them to freeze and accumulate into the rounded shapes we recognize as hailstones.
