how is hailstone formed
Hail is precipitation in the form of large balls or lumps of ice. There was a storm that produced hail early last week.Hailstones begin as small ice particles that grow primarily by accretion; to grow large, they require abundant water droplets.As the hailstone moves up and down through a storm, it collides with water droplets, growing larger with each collision. Hailstones can be as large as oranges and grapefruits.ailstones begin as small ice particles that grow primarily by accretion; to grow large, they require abundant water droplets.
