Condensed water molecules fall out of clouds as snow. If they hit a warmer part of air (over 32 degrees F) then they melt into rain. If they hit a colder part of air before they hit the ground, but after they go through the warmer air, then they form a slushy like snow called sleet.
What else can I help you with?
When rain falls from clouds and it freezes along the way it is called?
When rain falls from clouds and freezes along the way, it is called "sleet."
What are the pellets of frozen rain called as?
Hail is frozen rain, but it is made by accretion high in the clouds. Rain that freezes on its way down to the surface is called sleet.
Rain that freezes on the way down is?
This can be either sleet or freezing rain, though both technically start as snow and melt into rain. Sleet is rain that is able to freeze back into ice pellets before reaching the ground. Freezing rain is rain that does not have enough time to freeze into ice before reaching the ground - the cold layer is very shallow to the ground, so it is rain that freezes on contact with cold surfaces.
What is the definition of freezing rain?
Freezing rain is caused when you have a precipitating cloud deck with a mass of warm air below it and then a thin mass of freezing air near the ground.When the precipitation falls from the cloud, it will generally be snow. As it encounters the warm air, it melts into the usual water droplets of rain. But right before it reaches the ground, it enters the layer of below-freezing air and quickly turns into super-cooled water droplets. On landing on any freezing object, it instantly turns into a layer of ice.That can turn streets into skating rinks in no time!It falls as a liquid, but when it hits the ground it freezes.
What is partially frozen snow called?
Partially frozen rain is called Snow. This is because when you usually see the first snow fall, it doesn't pile up on the ground right away. It takes time until there are many snow flakes. But what does happen is that it will melt right away. So it's not rain, all water, its not hail, totally frozen ice, but it's Snow. Frozen, but not to a great extent.

How Snow and sleet are different?
If the water vapor freezes , it falls as snow.If the rain freezes on the way down it falls as sleet.
What is super cooled rain?
Super Cool Rain is rain which falls as snow then melts on the way down and before i touches the ground again quickly freezes but not enough so when it touches a solid it freezes instantly

What is rain the freezes on the way down?
SNOW!!! It's this white stuff on the ground (very cold too)! No its Sleet!!!!!!!!!!!! ist like slush

What is the way ice causes weathering?
the rain doesnt wanna come out so it freezes or if it does rain the the cold weather will freeze it
When the rain falls which way will it fall?
Mostly down.
Where is Freezing rain most likely to happen?
Most rain is frozen when it starts its journey down to the ground but melts on the way.
When the rain falls which way will it fall if there is no wind?
If there is no wind, the rain will just fall straight down.
