Is snow freezing rain or just white stuff that freezes in the clouds and falls down?

ANSWER:Sleet is frozen rain.


Why do hailstorms form in cumulonimbus clouds?

When the rain falls from the top of the cloud, since Cumulonimbus clouds are big the rain freezes up and turns into a ball of ice before it hits the ground.


What is it called when water falls from the clouds down to earth's surface?

It is called precipitation.


When rain falls from clouds and freezes along the way?

It is Sleet. Hail is when water droplets condense out of the cloud and are carried upwards in a draught to a colder refion, whereupon the water droplets freeze into ice. and fall to Earth as hail.


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.


Can mammary clouds produce hail?

Ummm . . . there are no "Mammary" clouds. 'Mammary' pertains to something that produces milk for the baby animal. Clouds, particularly nimbus clouds and cumulonimbus clouds can produce water droplets which fall and are then called, "Rain". If this rain freezes on the way to the ground, it is called, "Sleet". If it freezes then is blown back up to the cloud to gather another layer of water (many times), the frozen drop gets larger and larger until finally, it is too heavy for the wind to blow it back up into the cloud any more. Then it falls to the ground and is called, "Hail". I hope this is what you wanted to know . . . A different take on this question. The word for certain clouds associated with tornadoes is cumulonimbus mammatus (essentially mammary clouds) so named because of the cloud's pendulous mammary like appearance . There is often hail associated with tornadoes so, the answers to this question is yes.


What creates snow?

God crying when it's cold outside. Clouds. You see, the water EVAPORATES and makes clouds. Then, the water falls out of the clouds. It freezes on it's way down, and that's how you make snow!!!!


What happens before it snow?

Before it snows, the moisture in the air condenses and forms clouds. As the temperature drops, the moisture in the clouds freezes and falls to the ground as snow when the conditions are right. This process is part of the water cycle and can be influenced by factors such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure.


Does snow mean that rain falls through cold air?

Snow can only be formed in clouds when ice crystals grow around condensation nuclei. Rain that falls through cold air and freezes is called sleet (ice pellets), unless it doesn't freeze until hitting the surface, in which case it is called freezing rain (or glaze, in some parts of the world).


What is the water called that falls to Earth's surface from clouds?

A general word for water that falls from clouds is precipitation


What is the process by which water falls from clouds?

The process by which water falls from clouds is called precipitation. It occurs when water droplets in the clouds combine and grow large enough to fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, depending on the atmospheric conditions.


What is the moisture that falls from clouds called?

The moisture that falls from clouds is called precipitation. It can manifest in various forms, including rain, snow, sleet, or hail, depending on the temperature and atmospheric conditions. Precipitation is a crucial part of the Earth's water cycle, replenishing water sources and supporting ecosystems.
