Question

At ground level, how are rain and hail similar?

Answer 1

Sleet and hail are similar forms of precipitation. However, hail is generally associated with thunderstorms or summer weather conditions and precipitation in the form of sleet is more likely to occur during winter-like weather. Sleet is partly frozen rain, and precipitation in the form of hail is basically ice balls. Graupel is formed from ice-coated snow crystals that fall to the Earth's surface. After falling to the ground, graupel is generally called snow pellets.
