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
