Concept:Snow, sleet, and hail are all types of precipitation — water falling from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface in solid or liquid form.
Explanation:Precipitation includes all forms of water that fall from clouds in the troposphere (about
8 to
16 km above ground).
When the temperature is above
0∘C, precipitation falls as rain (liquid water).
At temperatures below
0∘C, water vapor forms hexagonal ice crystals that join into snowflakes — this is snowfall.
Sleet forms when raindrops freeze into ice pellets as they pass through a cold layer of air near the ground.
Hail consists of ice lumps larger than
8 mm in diameter, usually produced during severe thunderstorms.
All these are examples of precipitation, not condensation, transpiration, or evaporation.
