Hail forms in strong thunderstorms with intense updrafts that carry water droplets upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere, where they freeze into ice. As these ice pellets are lifted and dropped repeatedly, they accumulate layers of ice until they become too heavy for the updrafts to support, causing them to fall to the ground. Hail typically occurs during severe thunderstorms, often in spring and summer when conditions are most favorable for such storms.
What else can I help you with?
WHERE is hail from?
Hail is frozen balls of ice that form when a drop of water falls from a cloud. It then freezes if the temperature is cold enough in the sky,then falls to the ground as a frozen lump. Hail has been known to be the size of a golf ball!!
Hail falls to the ground because of the force of?
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.
When does hail most likely occur?
Hail begins as a drop of water falling toward earth. In conditions that produce hail, rain clouds and such, there are areas were the wind blows downwrd and also upward producing very turbulent conditions. There is very cold air in the upper atmosphere. As a drop o rain(mostiure) falls, it is caught by updrafts of air and pushed high up into the very cold air and the outside of the mosture crytalizes into ice. This may occur a few or many times and the number of times the drop returnsto the upper atmosphere determines the size of the hail, for each time the drop travels upward more ice forms and the drop increases in size, until finally there is so much ice attached until gravity takes over and pulls the drop, which is now what we know as hail, down and out of the effect of updrafts and it falls to earth. In every piece of hail there is the minute drop of water that developed into he ball of ice we know as hail.
Does hail turns into snow?
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.
Does hail float?
Hail is just ice, so it will float in water.
Why does hail eventually fall out of the sky?
Hail falls out of the sky when the updrafts in a thunderstorm can no longer support the weight of the hailstone, causing it to drop to the ground.

Pellets of ice that fall to the ground are called?
sleet
What precipitation will fall to the ground if it is 16 degrees Celsius?
hail

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.
Why is hail and snow still ice when it hits the ground?
well snow will only stick alot if its thick and hail stones is soled
What should you do if an attack begin without warning?
Drop to the ground, don protective mask (if not donned already)
Does hail float?
Hail is just ice, so it will float in water.
Is it true that it won't hail unless the ground is above zero degrees Celsius?
Hail is generated by upper cloud wind driving frozen water particles up and through clouds. They gain a little more water, it gets frozen and when the wind can no longer carry it up it falls. The temperature on the ground doesn't effect this process much.
What are harmful effect of hail?
The only harmful thing I know about hail is that the cloud can produce huge drops of water that cools down on the way down (making hail) and if the hail contains huge clumps of ice they can damage about anything on the ground.
