The 4 main precipitaions are rain, hail, sleek and snow
Actually they are the same; sleet is frozen rain, or ice pellets. This is not to be confused with FREEZING rain, which is rain that freezes near the ground level if it is colder than above. Sleet is already frozen when it hits.

The different forms of rain include drizzle (small and light raindrops), showers (brief and intense rain), and heavy rain (continuous and strong rainfall). Additionally, there is freezing rain, which is rain that freezes upon contact with surfaces at or below freezing temperatures.
In the condensation step that leads to snow or hail, the temperature needs to be very low, usually below freezing. This causes the water vapor to condense into ice crystals or supercooled water droplets. These frozen particles then grow and combine in the cloud until they are heavy enough to fall as snow or hail, instead of rain.
No, hail is freezing rain.

hail is essentially frozen rain caused by sub freezing tempertures at higher altitudes freezing the precipitation as it falls.

The four major types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Rain is liquid water droplets falling to the ground, snow is ice crystals falling to the ground, sleet is rain that freezes as it falls, and hail is ice pellets formed in strong thunderstorms.
Anything above the freezing point, 0* Celsius. Below freezing point, rain turns into snow, sleet, slush or hail.
When rain freezes before it hits the earth, it forms sleet or freezing rain. Sleet consists of small ice pellets, while freezing rain forms as liquid rain that freezes upon contact with surfaces. Both can create hazardous conditions on roads and walkways.
