Forms of Precipitation (Rain, Snow, Hail — How They Form)

Описание: “Rain, Snow, Hail — How They Form

The provided text offers a comprehensive overview of the various forms of atmospheric precipitation, detailing how different weather conditions lead to distinct types. It explains the physical characteristics, such as approximate size and state of water, for common types like rain and snow, as well as less frequent but potentially hazardous forms such as sleet, freezing rain (glaze), and hail. The source also discusses the meteorological distinctions between rain, drizzle, and mist based on droplet size, and provides context on the formation processes for phenomena like virga, fallstreaks, and rime. Furthermore, the text highlights the destructive capacity of severe weather, using historical examples of costly ice storms and massive hailstones.
