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.
The 4 main precipitaions are rain, hail, sleek and snow
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.
Snowflakes are lighter than the more frozen denser hail.
No, hail generally only occurs in the summer.

because hail can hurt you but snow can't
Ice crystals that fall from the sky are called snowflakes.

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.

Yes, even hot deserts occasionally experience snow, sleet and hail.
