What are hard ice balls falling from clouds called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Hailstones

Correct answer: D, hailstones. Precipitation means water that falls from the atmosphere to the ground. It may fall as liquid water, such as rain or drizzle, or as solid ice, such as hail. Hailstones are hard balls or lumps of ice that form inside strong, tall storm clouds when powerful upward-moving air currents carry water droplets to very cold levels. The droplets freeze and may grow into larger ice balls before falling. A is drizzle, which is very light rain made of tiny liquid drops, not hard ice. B is rain, which is liquid water drops. C is mist, a collection of tiny water droplets near the ground that reduces visibility; it does not normally fall as ice balls. D is correct because hailstones are solid precipitation in the form of hard ice pieces. Memory cue: hail means hard ice falling from the sky.
