Sleet
hail
Rain occurs when the temperature is above freezing both in the clouds and at the ground level. If the temperature in the clouds is below freezing but at the ground level it is above freezing, sleet or freezing rain may occur.

The type of precipitation that involves water turning into ice and freezing is called freezing rain. This occurs when raindrops become supercooled as they fall through below-freezing temperatures, and then freeze upon contact with cold surfaces on the ground.
Rain occurs when the temperature between the cloud and the ground is above freezing (0°C). This allows snowflakes to melt into raindrops before reaching the ground.
What form of precipitation falls to earth mainly depends on the?
Sleet occurs when rain droplets fall through a layer of freezing air close to the ground, causing them to freeze into ice pellets before reaching the surface.
The temperature of the atmosphere is the primary factor that determines whether precipitation falls as a liquid or a solid. Precipitation will fall as rain when the temperature is above freezing and as snow when the temperature is below freezing. Other factors, such as humidity and the presence of ice nuclei, can also influence the type of precipitation.
The type of precipitation that falls from a Cumulonimbus cloud is usually determined by the temperature of the air below the cloud. Rain will fall if the temperature is above freezing, while snow or hail will fall if the temperature is below freezing. Other factors like atmospheric pressure and humidity can also influence the type of precipitation.
Tennessee can get any type of precipitation, but rain is most prevalent.
when liquid in lakes or something evaporates and goes into our atmosphere were the water vapour comes together With dust (to see the cloud) called condensation after enough comes together it rains. now for what type theres only two really that's normal nice rain and acid rain were carbon dioxide makes the water acidic and burns stuff kinda.
Virtually all precipitation actually originates as snow in the cold air high above the ground, but since most parts of the world are above freezing at ground level, that snow will usually melt before it reaches the ground. The only other type of precipitation associated with warm weather is hail, but hail requires a strong thunderstorm.
