Clouds form when water vapor in the air condenses around tiny particles. If the temperature is below freezing, the water droplets freeze and fall as snow. If it melts on the way down and refreezes, it becomes sleet. Rain falls when the temperature is above freezing, while hail forms when updrafts carry raindrops into colder regions of a cloud, causing them to freeze and accumulate layers of ice.
What else can I help you with?
What is three types of precipitation?
The 4 main precipitaions are rain, hail, sleek and snow
What are the five main types of percitpation?
The five main types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, hail, and drizzle. Rain is liquid water falling from clouds, snow is frozen water crystals, sleet is a mix of rain and ice pellets, hail is ice pellets falling from thunderstorms, and drizzle is very light rain.
What causes rain sleet snow and hail?
Rain forms when water droplets in clouds grow and combine until they are heavy enough to fall to the ground. Sleet occurs when rain freezes before reaching the ground. Snow forms when water vapor in clouds freezes into ice crystals. Hail forms when strong updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops into the colder upper atmosphere, where they freeze and grow larger before falling to the ground.

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.
