Give 5 points of difference between Snowfall and hail
Answers
2. Hailstones are formed when water drops are pressed and cooled against each other due to the strong winds. Snowflakes are formed when water vapour crystallizes.
3. Snowflakes are usually formed in nimbostratus clouds and hailstones are formed in cumulonimbus clouds.
4. Hailstones have rings in it and can be seen when it is cut in half. Snowflakes come in different shapes but will always have six points.
5. Hail occurs during thunderstorms or tornadoes while snow falls when the temperature drops.
We often see or hear about snow and hail in different parts of the world. Both snow and hail are small pieces of ice that falls from the sky. Then what is it that makes it have two names? There actually is quite some difference between the hail and snow.
Snow or snowflakes are formed when water freezes in crystal forms. These are star shaped and pointed. These protrusions help the snow to get more space for itself and when it melts, the points disappear.
Hail or hailstones are the big ice balls that fall during the thunderstorms. The size of the hailstones depends on the intensity of the storm. It can range from small to large balls. The stronger the storm, the bigger the hailstone is. Or the larger the hailstone, the greater the storm is.
