Question
Can you please give a brief explanation? I am a bit confused and I would like to know. Thank you.
1. When you have above freezing temperatures from the cloud down to the surface, you should expect your precipitation to be
a. rain
b. snow
c. sleet
d. freezing rain
2. When you have below freezing temperatures from the cloud down to the surface, you should expect your precipitation to be
a. rain
b. snow
c. sleet
d. freezing rain
3. When you have above freezing temperatures below the cloud; however, the liquid water droplets have time to freeze before impacting the surface, you should expect your precipitation to be
a. rain
b. snow
c. sleet
d. freezing rain
4. When you have above freezing temperatures from the cloud to just above the surface and the temperature falls below zero on the surface causing the liquid droplet to freeze on impact, you should expect your precipitation to be
a. rain
b. snow
c. sleet
d. freezing rain

1. The answer is option a, Rain
Practically most precipitation actually begins as snow from the cloud. When there is above freezing point temperature from the cloud to the surface, the falling snow from the cloud melts and changes to rain on reaching the ground.
2. The answer is option b, Snow
Snow occurs when the air remains at freezing temperature or below freezing temperature from the cloud to the surface. The snow actually formed from the clouds will remain frozen because of low temperature.
3. Answer is option c. Sleet
Sleet occurs when there is above freezing temperature below the cloud causing it to melt a bit and later if these droplets have time to refreeze to form as ice pellets before impacting the surface.
4. The answer is Option d. Freezing Rain
This case is somewhat similar to sleet. But in this because of warm air front below the cloud, the snow which is formed from the cloud literally becomes rain. Again on the surface temperature falls below the freezing point allowing it to freeze immediately and turns into ice on impact.
Hope this helped you...
