What is precipitation?Explain briefly.
Answers
Precipitation is defined as the formation of a solid from a solution. When the reaction occurs in a liquid solution, the solid that is formed is called a precipitate. The chemical which causes the solid to form is called a precipitant.
Consider, for example, precipitation occurs when a part of the atmosphere saturates itself with water vapour and with the right temperature, it condenses and precipitates. The two processes that make the air saturated are the cooling of air molecules in the atmosphere and the addition of water vapour.
Answer:
precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravitational pull from clouds. The main forms of precipitation include drizzling, rain, sleet, snow, ice pellets, graupel and hail
