What is precipitation falling as small, hard, rounded ice particles called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Hail

Correct answer: B, hail. Precipitation is water that falls from the atmosphere to the ground. Hail is made of hard balls or irregular lumps of ice that develop inside strong clouds and fall when they become heavy enough. B is correct because the words “hard,” “rounded,” and “ice particles” describe hailstones. A is wrong because rain falls as liquid water droplets, not solid ice. C is wrong because snowfall consists mainly of soft or delicate snowflakes and ice crystals, usually forming in very cold clouds. D is wrong because dew forms as tiny water droplets on cool surfaces such as grass; it does not fall from a cloud. Memory cue: hard ice falling from a cloud means hail; soft flakes mean snow.
