hail can become biger by the winds carrying up water droplets back into the sky and freazing it over and over again. Hail can become bigger by the winds carrying up water droplets back into the cloud and freazing it , then doing it over.
Hail is unlikely to fall in winter due to colder temperatures not conducive to the formation of hailstorms.
Hail forms when strong updrafts in a thunderstorm carry raindrops into very cold areas of the atmosphere, where they freeze into ice. These ice particles grow larger as they are lifted and carried by updrafts multiple times before becoming too heavy and falling to the ground as hail.
Yes. Although it is relatively rare, Maine can get hail.
gravity pulling it down. When water droplets in a cloud are carried upward due to strong air currents, they freeze into ice pellets. As they become heavier, they eventually fall to the ground as hail.
Snowflakes are lighter than the more frozen denser hail.
rain: the clouds collect eough water from the ocean to the clouds and the clouds get too heavy and have to fall down. hail: the water from the clouds get frozen and turn into snow
nothing but hail
Hail falls from the sky when strong updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops high into the cold upper atmosphere, where they freeze into ice pellets. These pellets grow larger as they are carried up and down by the updrafts, eventually becoming heavy enough to fall to the ground as hail.

sometimes it isn't cold enough for the hail to fall in it's ice form.
Ice crystals that fall from the sky are called snowflakes.
Hail forms when strong updrafts in a thunderstorm carry raindrops into very cold areas of the atmosphere, where they freeze into ice. These ice particles grow larger as they are lifted and carried by updrafts multiple times before becoming too heavy and falling to the ground as hail.
The heaviest hail on record (currently) is 132 grams.
Yes. Although it is relatively rare, Maine can get hail.
No, hail doesn't fall in tornadoes, but it often falls near them.
When strong winds toss ice crystals up and down in a cloud, it can lead to the formation of hail. As the ice crystals are carried up and down in the cloud, they encounter different temperature zones that cause them to grow larger. Eventually, the ice crystals become too heavy to be supported by the wind and fall to the ground as hail.
Hail can form in clouds over the ocean, but it typically melts before reaching the surface due to the warmer ocean temperatures. If hail does fall into the ocean, it quickly melts and blends with the water.
