Precipitation is when the solid water in the clouds turns into liquid. Precipitation can come in rain, snow, sleet, or hail. If the temperature near the ground is cold, snow, sleet, and hail all occur.
When it rains outside. Precipitation is known as any product of condensation, according to meteorology. However chemistry has a different definiton.
"Precipitation" refers to "falling out". In a chemical reaction, precipitation refers to a process where liquid or dissolved chemicals react to form another compound which is insoluble, and solid "flakes" of the compound "fall out" of the solution and settle to the bottom. In meteorology, "precipitation" refers to water "falling out" of the clouds as rain or snow.
Meteorology is part of Earth and Space Science.
Meteorology :)
Precipitation units refer to the measurements used to quantify the amount of moisture that falls from the atmosphere, typically expressed in millimeters (mm) or inches. These units indicate the depth of water that would accumulate on a flat, impermeable surface if all precipitation remained there without evaporation or runoff. Commonly used in meteorology, precipitation measurements can include rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Understanding these units helps in assessing weather patterns, hydrology, and water resource management.
