When a large hailstone is cut open 4 layers can be seen What conclusion can you draw about the formation of the hailstone?

It may show how hard it was raining in the cloud, or how much the amount of rain differed depending on the thickness of the ice layers.
Hope this helped (:

Why do hailstorms occur?
Hail forms in storm clouds when supercooled water droplets freeze on contact with condensation nuclei, such as dust or dirt. The storm's updraft blows the hailstones to the upper part of the cloud. The updraft dissipates and the hailstones fall down, back into the updraft, and are lifted up again. The hailstone gains an ice layer and grows increasingly larger with each ascent. Once a hailstone becomes too heavy to be supported by the storm's updraft, it falls from the cloud. In large hailstones, latent heat released by further freezing may melt the outer shell of the hailstone. The hailstone then may undergo 'wet growth', where the liquid outer shell collects other smaller hailstones.

No, not unless there was a large disturbance that rearranged the layers.

Reverse Grading.
Do you have hail in 30 degrees Fahrenheit?
Yes, but it needs to be -40 degrees in the cloud's height to form it. it can hail when it's colder in the upper atmosphere. Hail can happen but the water droplets must stay in the cloud to get them supercooled, it melts when it hits the warmer region of the cloud. Anyway, Hailstone can go up and down in the storm to collect many ice and freezes much layers, this can be a large hailstone, if no longer ice stays aloft and falls to earth. attaching water drops to the ice and grows bigger and bigger enough to fall out. Hail considers the strong updrafts in these powerful thunderstorms. the stronger the storm, hail to fall.
