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.

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.
