Hey mate!!
here's your answer..
»Types of precipitation are : -
- Rain
- Snow
- Hail
- Sleet
- Rain -Rain is any liquid that drops from the clouds in the sky. Rain is described as water droplets of 0.5 mm or larger.
- Snow - it is precipitation in the form of virga or flakes of ice water falling from the clouds. Snow is normally seen together with high, thin and weak cirrus clouds.
- hail -This normally results in the solidification of rain droplets. The raindrops are super-cooled while passing through the sub-freezing layer in the atmosphere and freezes by the time it reaches the ground. During freezing rains, it is common to witness an even coating of ice on cars, streets, trees, and power lines
- sleet -Sleet takes place in freezing atmospheric conditions. Sleet, also known as ice pellets, form when snow falls into a warm layer then melts into rain and then the rain droplets falls into a freezing layer of air that is cold enough to refreeze the raindrops into ice pellets.
