Precipitation is rain, snow, sleet, hail, or any other water that falls from the sky.

In meteorology, precipitation (also known as one of the classes of hydrometeors, which are atmospheric water phenomena) is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that is deposited on the Earth's surface. Precipitation is generated in clouds. When water vapor droplets in clouds become so large that updrafts within the clouds can no longer support them, the water will fall to the earth under the force of gravity.

What does it mean chance of precipitation?

Chance of precipitation is the likelihood of measurable precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, etc.) occurring within a specific area during a designated time period. It is usually expressed as a percentage, indicating the probability of encountering precipitation at a given location. For example, a 30% chance of precipitation means there is a 30% likelihood of measurable precipitation happening in that area.

What is the Difference between co precipitation and post precipitation?

• Precipitation is settling down of insoluble particles from a solution. Co-precipitation is a process in which normally soluble compounds are carried out of solution by a precipitate. • In precipitation, normally insoluble compounds are precipitated. But in co-precipitation normally soluble compounds are precipitated. • Co-precipitation incorporates contaminants into the precipitate, whereas precipitation can result in both pure and contaminated precipitates.
