Yes hail moves around within a cloud. As hail falls within a cloud it will gather moisture on its outside. The winds and updrafts within a storm cloud constantly swirl. As a piece of hail that has gotten wet swirls up higher in the cloud it refreezes with a new layer of ice and continues to do it and grow until it finally falls to earth. The longer it stays in the cloud and the more trips it makes, the larger it gets.

If yoiu ever have large hail, collect a piece (after it stops hailing) and break it. You will see the different layers inside. It looks like a giant Jaw Breaker candy.

How can the same cumulonimbus cloud produce rain and hail?

Inside a cumulonimbus cloud, there are updrafts that carry water droplets to colder altitudes where they freeze into hailstones. These hailstones can grow as they move up and down in the cloud, eventually becoming heavy enough to fall to the ground as hail. At the same time, the cloud produces rain from the water droplets that don't freeze into hailstones and are too heavy to remain in the cloud.


What makes the clouds move?

wind makes the clouds move


What type of precipitation occurs as rain droplets move up and down repeatedly through freezing and nonfreezing air?

hail


Do clouds move or does the sun move?

Clouds move due to wind patterns in the atmosphere, while the sun appears to move across the sky due to the Earth's rotation. The sun's apparent movement from east to west during the day is caused by the Earth spinning on its axis.


Why do clouds appear to move while we move?

when we walk the clouds so big it look like the clouds is following you


Are all hail clouds green?

The color of a cloud depends on how much light is able to move freely through the water droplets. A "green" cloud (generally a cumulonimbus cloud ) can also be described as "dark and angry" and is often associated with severe weather. They can potentially produce heavy rain, frequent lightening strikes, hail and tornadoes. A lighter colored cloud can produce hail, but when it is "green" the weather service generally expects the possibility of hail.


How do clouds move across the sky?

Clouds move across the sky due to the wind. The wind carries the clouds in the direction it is blowing, causing them to drift and change shape as they move.


How might clouds move?

Clouds move due to the wind carrying them along. Different layers of the atmosphere can have varying wind speeds and directions, causing clouds to drift, spread out, or even form into distinct shapes. The movement of clouds can also be influenced by local geographic features and weather systems.


Do i say move slightly down or move slightly downward?

You can say either "move slightly down" or "move slightly downward" – both are correct. The choice between "down" and "downward" is a matter of personal preference, as both words are adverbs that can be used to indicate direction.


What is the duration of Only Clouds Move the Stars?

The duration of Only Clouds Move the Stars is 1.62 hours.


What word is given to ice cryatals that move up and down in a thunderstorm and get larger and larger before they fall to earth?

What way do clouds move?

Clouds move with the wind. Depending on the speed and direction of the wind at different altitudes, clouds can move horizontally and vertically in the atmosphere. The movement of clouds can also be influenced by other factors such as temperature, air pressure, and topography.
