How long does it take a snowflake to reach the ground

It takes up to 1 hour to reach the ground

Should you take a bath when it is a thunderstorm

No because when lightning strikes a house, pipes can carry that electrical current

100

How large what the biggest piece of hail

it was the size of a vollyball

How do you get sleet

Sleet happens when liquid rain enters a freezing layer, usually a couple of thousand feet thick, between the cloud base and ground level. The raindrops turn to ice as they fall through the freezing layer. Sleet can fall when it's above freezing at the ground as long as there’s a subfreezing layer above. In this case, the sleet will turn into slush and make for sloppy driveways and sidewalks. Heavy sleet can accumulate several inches deep and paralyze traffic flow

Do rainforests get a lot of rain?

Rainforests Don't Get All That Much Rain.

200

Can it just start snowing on its own

No, because there must be pollen or dust in the air to form snow.

200

Is a lighting bolt hotter than the sun

Yes it is 5x hotter than the sun

200

Can you get injured by hail

Yes and hail is rarely deadly

200

How does sleet form

Snow forms when the air in the clouds is at 32 °F (0 °C) or less; ice crystals grow and fall out as snowflakes. Liquid precipitation forms when the temperature is 33 °F (0.55 °C) or greater. Here’s how that liquid precipitation winds up as sleet or freezing rain

Does Rain smell?

Rain Has a Unique Smell.

300

What color is snow?

Snow appears white, but it is actually translucent.

300

Can a volcano cause lighting

Yes it can because the ash rises making static electricity

300

Can hail only travel under 30mph

Nope very big hail can travel a 100mph

300

Is sleet like a rain drop

Sleet is like a frozen raindrop some pilots and meteorologists use the term “ice pellets,” but sleet is nothing more than a frozen raindrop, which forms in the air at temperatures of 32 °F (0 °C) or less. Sleet can mix with rain, snow, or freezing rain in some situations.

Does everywhere on earth get rain

There is a spot on earth that has NEVER seen rain

400

Does it have to be freezing to snow?

No, It can be below freezing or at 

400

Can snowing cause lighting

Yes because winter thunderstorms (thundersnow) occur during a snowfall, instead of rain

What is hail 

Hail is a type of frozen precipitation that forms during thunderstorms, typically in the spring and summer months in the U.S

400

What is sleet

Sleet is not the same as hail. Hail forms from thunderstorms towering high into the sky. Sleet forms from low, dark, and cold winter clouds. Sleet starts as liquid rain and freezes on its way to the ground
