Precipitation
• Form of water that falls from a cloud to the Earth; a water cycle process; rain, sleet, hail, snow.

Rain
• Liquid precipitation in the form of water drops that falls from clouds.

Sleet
• Solid precipitation in the form of ice pellets form when raindrops, originating in warmer air aloft, freeze as they fall through subfreezing air new the surface of the Earth.

Snow
• Precipitation that is composed of white ice crystals falling from clouds. Snow may stick together to form snowflakes, which have a hexagonal or six-sided shape.
