Types of Precipitation

  • What is precipitation?

    • Precipitation happens when rain, snow, or hail falls to the earths surface

  • How rain is formed

    • Rain happens when water vapour turns into rain and it fall down from the cloud, because the earths surface is warm

  • How snow is formed

    • Snow forms when water vapour in the atmosphere cools and condenses into ice crystals, these form as snow flakes and fall onto the cool surface of the earth.

  • How hail is formed

    • When the water goes higher the water freezes and goes to the storm cloud. As it falls it is cold ice around the size of a golf ball, it hits the ground falling as hard ice
