What is a ice pellet that is larger than 5 millimeters in diameter an occurs in a thunderstorm?

A hailstone is an ice pellet larger than 5 millimeters in diameter that forms in a thunderstorm due to updrafts carrying raindrops into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere where they freeze and accumulate layers of ice before falling to the ground.


What is an ice pellet larger than 5mm in diameter that forms during a thunderstorm?

The term for an ice pellet larger than 5mm in diameter that forms during a thunderstorm is "hailstone." Hailstones are formed when updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere where they freeze, forming layers of ice that can grow larger as they are circulated by the storm.

Why is the volume of 1 gram of water the same as 1 gram of ice?

It is not. It varies slightly. The volume of ice will be larger than with water when water and ice are the same weight.


What is more dense the water or the ice?

Water has a greater density than ice. When water freezes, it expands, which means the same amount of H20 is taking up more space. Since density is a ratio of the amount of matter in an object (mass) to how much space it takes up (volume), if something is larger in size and has the same mass as something smaller in size, the smaller thing will always have more density than the larger thing.

Which has larger diameter hail or sleet?

Hail has a bigger diameter because sleet comes out of the clouds as the form of rain, then if its just cold enough, it freezes when it gets to a point where its cold. Hail is frozen high in the sky, so it has more time to freeze and get larger.


Which is larger 2.9 or 2.13?

Oh, dude, 2.13 is larger than 2.9. It's like comparing a small ice cream cone to a slightly larger ice cream cone - you always go for the bigger one, right? So yeah, 2.13 takes the cake... or should I say, takes the ice cream?
