What type of cloud produces freezing rain?
Freezing rain can come from Cumulonimbus and Nimbostratus clouds, but the clouds are not responsible for the freezing rain. If the precipitation falls from the clouds as snow it must pass through a warm layer of air to melt the snow flakes into rain drops. Then the raindrops must pass through a frigid layer of air that super-cools them. Finally, the rain instantly turns to ice if it lands on a surface that has a temperature below freezing. Then you know you have freezing rain. (see Related Link below for more detail on freezing rain.)
What are two forms of precipitation?
* Rain * Snow * Sleet * Hail * Freezing Rain
What clouds does relief rain form?
Relief rain forms when moist air is forced to rise over a topographic barrier, such as a mountain range. As the air rises, it cools and condenses to form clouds, eventually resulting in precipitation in the form of rain. The type of clouds that form can vary, but commonly include cumulus and nimbus clouds.
When water falls from clouds what forms can it take?
When water falls from clouds, it can take the forms of rain, snow, sleet, or hail depending on the atmospheric conditions such as temperature. Rain occurs when the temperatures are above freezing, while snow forms when the temperatures are below freezing. Sleet is a mix of rain and snow, and hail forms when strong updrafts in thunderstorms cause raindrops to be carried upward and freeze before falling.
What type of clouds are rainy?
Nimbus clouds are the type of clouds that are typically associated with rain. These clouds are characterized by their dark, thick appearance and are responsible for producing precipitation in the form of rain.
Which type of precipitation happens when the temperature between the clouds and the ground is warmer than zero degrees Celsius freezing?
Rain occurs when the temperature is above freezing both in the clouds and at the ground level. If the temperature in the clouds is below freezing but at the ground level it is above freezing, sleet or freezing rain may occur.
What makes freezing water vapor inside clouds?
When the air temperature in the cloud decreases below the freezing point of water vapor, the water vapor molecules slow down and come together to form ice crystals. This process is called nucleation, where the vapor turns into tiny particles of ice, which then grow into larger ice crystals to form clouds.

Is snow freezing rain or just white stuff that freezes in the clouds and falls down?
ANSWER:Sleet is frozen rain.
Why are clouds there?
Well to rain on us of course clouds are even made of rain in a gas form
How is freezing rain and sleet similar to each other?
Freezing rain and sleet are the same thing if you leave it up to the basics. Both of them are tiny bits of ice falling from the clouds.
What happens to a water particle during precipitation?
During precipitation, a water particle is released from the clouds. This particle can be in the form of a water droplet of rain, sleet, snow, freezing rain or even hail.
What clouds does relief rain form?
Relief rain forms when moist air is forced to rise over a topographic barrier, such as a mountain range. As the air rises, it cools and condenses to form clouds, eventually resulting in precipitation in the form of rain. The type of clouds that form can vary, but commonly include cumulus and nimbus clouds.
What does generally clouds mean?
Clouds form when water starts to condense, so clouds eventually grow until they rain themselves to death-clouds mean rain.
What are the four kinds of precipitation come from clouds?
Snow,rain,sleet,and hail.
What kinds of weather can astronauts from orbit?
They can see rain clouds, hurricanes, and lightning!
