HAIL
Hail is made up of frozen pellets of rain that is made in cumulonimbus clouds. Hail is frozen water crystals that fall from the sky. Hail can range in size from an eighth of an inch to the size of a grapefruit.
Hail is frozen balls of ice that form when a drop of water falls from a cloud. It then freezes if the temperature is cold enough in the sky,then falls to the ground as a frozen lump. Hail has been known to be the size of a golf ball!!
The four most common types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain occurs as liquid water droplets, snow as frozen ice crystals, sleet as ice pellets, and hail as solid ice balls formed in thunderstorms.
Frozen water droplets are known as hail.
Hail is formed (frozen rain drops).
HAIL
It is hail (often called hailstones)
Hail is a solid state of matter. It forms when updrafts in thunderstorms carry water droplets high into the atmosphere where they freeze. These frozen droplets grow in size as they collide with other frozen droplets, eventually falling to the ground as hailstones.
The result is known as hail (frozen droplets of water).

Frozen water droplets are small particles of water in a solid state, formed when liquid water freezes due to low temperatures. These droplets can take various forms, such as snowflakes, ice pellets, or hail, depending on the specific conditions of temperature and humidity.

The main types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain is liquid water droplets falling from the sky, while snow is ice crystals. Sleet is frozen raindrops or partially melted snowflakes, and hail is balls of ice that form in thunderstorms.
Yes it is. Hail is simply water droplets that have been frozen while 'suspended' in a thunder cloud. The droplets get 'tossed around' by air currents in the cloud - until they're too heavy, and fall to earth.
The tornado itself is not the cause of the hail. Hail is a phenomenon that occurs with thunderstorms that have strong updrafts. The hail forms as the updraft holds ice pellets aloft as layer after layer of supercooled water freezes to their surfaces. Eventually they become too heavy and fall out of the storm. The strongest updrafts are found in thunderstorms called supercells, which due to their rotation, are also the primary producers of tornadoes.
