Snow and hail are different because they form in different ways. Snow forms when water vapor goes directly into the solid phase (ice) without becoming liquid water, forming the delicate crystals we call snowflakes. Hail stars out as snowflakes in the frigid upper reaches of a strong thunderstorm. Rime accumulates on a snowflake, turning it into a pellet of graupel. That pellet is held in the air by the strong updraft of the thunderstorm, making multiple trips up and down, accumulating a layer of ice with each trip. Eventually the new hailstone either becomes too heavy or moves to a weaker part of the updraft and falls.
Hail is frozen precipitation that forms in thunderstorms, while snow forms in colder clouds. Hail and snow are not the same; hail typically forms in warmer conditions than snow. Once hail falls to the ground, it remains as hail and does not turn into snow.
Snowflakes are lighter than the more frozen denser hail.
The 4 main precipitaions are rain, hail, sleek and snow
Hail does go through the water cycle. Hail is a form of precipitation just like rain, sleet, snow and ice. Hail is a part of the water cycle and follows the same pattern as other forms of precipitation.

Rain, snow, sleet, and hail, Nature's elements set sail. Each unique, yet part of the same, Dancing together in a poetic, wild game.

because hail can hurt you but snow can't
Ice crystals that fall from the sky are called snowflakes.
no hail bangs snow and it becomes rain then rain comes down from clouds and tries to go to ur talwar and then u get byy sam
hail,rain,and snow
Not at all. Rain is well...water. Hail is ice. It is much harder than snow and can get quite large.
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.
Pieces of ice falling from clouds is called snow or hail.
