Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail.
Detailed explanation-2: -Clouds form when the invisible water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals. For this to happen, the parcel of air must be saturated, i.e. unable to hold all the water it contains in vapor form, so it starts to condense into a liquid or solid form.
Detailed explanation-3: -(i) What is precipitation? Answer: The sun’s heat vaporises water into vapour. This vapour cools down and condenses to become clouds. This may then fall on the surface of Earth in the form of rain, snow or sleet.
