Answers
Answer:
Liquid forms of precipitation include rain and drizzle. Rain or drizzle that freezes on contact within a subfreezing air mass is called "freezing rain" or "freezing drizzle". Frozen forms of precipitation include snow, ice needles, ice pellets, hail, and graupel.
Rain: It is the most common form of precipitation. It consists of large drops of water.
Snow: It is the feathery flakes of frozen moisture that fall on the earth's surface when the cloud temperature and the ground temperature remain below thefreezing point.
Hail: Frozen raindrops from ice pellets & fall
as hail. It is the most destructive form of precipitation.
Dew: It is a form of condensation is the process by which water vapour in the air gets converted into tiny droplets of water or ice . Dew forms in winters when
temperature is very low but not below 0 degree Celsius . Moist air comes in contact with the cold surfaces near the ground. The water vapour in the air changes to water & we see it as dew drops on grass or plants. Dew drops are beneficial for plants.
