What else can I help you with?
Does snow form from low clouds?
Snow is frozen raindrops.
Raindrops falling on frozen ground form this?
Ice pellets or sleet.
What do you call rain snow and hail?
Rain, snow, and hail are all types of precipitation. Rain is liquid water falling from clouds, snow is frozen water vapor that falls in flakes, and hail is frozen raindrops that are larger and formed in thunderstorms.
What is the difference between glaze ice and rain?
Rain is liquid that falls from a clouds. Glaze ice is frozen or partially frozen raindrops, in the form of ice pellets.
Raindrops falling on frozen ground form?
ice or icicles as they freeze upon contact with the cold surface.
What kind of precipitation is formed by large chunks of frozen water?
Large chunks of frozen water falling from the sky are called hail. Hail forms when strong updrafts and downdrafts within a thunderstorm cause water droplets to freeze into ice pellets before falling to the ground.
Where does the snow come from?
Snow - is simply frozen raindrops !
Why is it that raindrops but snowfalls?
Rain has more mass when not frozen.
What word best describes frozen raindrops?
hail
Frozen rain droplets created by the up drafts of convection thunderstorms?
Frozen rain droplets can form in thunderstorms when raindrops get carried into colder upper atmosphere regions where they freeze. These frozen droplets, called hail, can grow larger as they are carried by updrafts within the storm, eventually falling to the ground when they become too heavy to be supported by the updraft.
What the different between hail and rain?
Hail occurs when frozen raindrops are lifted by updrafts in strong thunderstorms, growing larger as they gather more ice layers before falling to the ground. Rain falls from clouds as liquid water droplets when temperatures are above freezing and condensation occurs. Hail tends to be bigger and causes more damage compared to rain.
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.
