GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The most common types of precipitation are rain, hail, and snow. Rain is precipitation that falls to the surface of the Earth as water droplets.

Detailed explanation-2: -Precipitation (Water Falling from the Sky) There are many different types of precipitation-rain, snow, hail, and sleet for example-yet they all have a few things in common. They all come from clouds. They are all forms of water that fall from the sky.

Detailed explanation-3: -Winter precipitation is on its way. Rain, snow, sleet, and freezing rain are all potential types of precipitation. Rain is liquid water, while the other three are frozen at the end of their atmospheric journey.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sleet occurs when snowflakes only partially melt when they fall through a shallow layer of warm air. These slushy drops refreeze as they next fall through a deep layer of freezing air above the surface, and eventually reach the ground as frozen rain drops that bounce on impact.
