(i)Rainfall is a type of precipitation when moisture falls on the earth in the form of drops of water. (ii)Precipitation has two forms (a) liquid (b) solid. (iii)Rainfall is caused due to cooling of saturated air. (iii)Precipitation takes place when the condensation takes place below dew point.

a : a deposit on the earth of hail, mist, rain, sleet, or snow also : the quantity of water deposited.

precipitation noun [U] (RAIN) water that falls from the clouds towards the ground, especially as rain or snow: Hail and sleet are types of precipitation.

Precipitation is any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth. It comes in many forms, like rain, sleet, and snow. Precipitation forms in the clouds when water vapor condenses into bigger and bigger droplets of water. When the drops are heavy enough, they fall to the Earth.

Answer: Which is not a form of precipitation? Heavy or light rain, sleet, snow, drizzle, and hail are all types of precipitation. However, fog and dew are not considered precipitation because these two processes are actually water condensing.

Precipitation. Precipitation fog forms as precipitation falls into cold, drier air below the cloud and evaporates into water vapor. The water vapor cools and at the dew point it condenses. When it condenses, it creates fog.

Glaze, ice coating that forms when supercooled rain, drizzle, or fog drops strike surfaces that have temperatures at or below the freezing point; the accumulated water covers the surface and freezes relatively slowly.

Stratus clouds are uniform and flat, producing a gray layer of cloud cover which may be precipitation-free or may cause periods of light precipitation or drizzle. Thick, dense stratus or stratocumulus clouds producing steady rain or snow often are referred to as nimbostratus clouds.

Cumulus clouds are created by strong updrafts of warm, moist air. Most forms of heavy precipitation fall from cumulus clouds. The weather they bring depends on their height and size.

Almost all rain is produced from low-level clouds. Stratus clouds produce steady rains, and cumulus clouds produce intense, stormy precipitation. Mid-level clouds can tip you off to the potential for these precipitation-producing cloud types to develop and may even produce an occasional sprinkle themselves.

Cirrus clouds do not produce precipitation which reaches the ground, though streaks of particles (known as fall streaks) are often observed below these clouds. Various halos and other optical effects may be produced by cirrus cloud.

The correct answer to the question “Which of the following is not a type of cloud” is option (c). Protected. And all the other options denote a type of cloud, Private Cloud, Public Cloud, and Hybrid Cloud.

Altocumulus Clouds: parallel bands or rounded masses. Altocumulus clouds are composed primarily of water droplets and are located between 6,500 and 20,000 feet (2,000 to 6,000 meters) above the ground.

What weather is associated with cirrus clouds? They often form in advance of a warm front, where the air masses meet at high levels, indicating a change in the weather is on the way. Technically these clouds produce precipitation but it never reaches the ground.

The droplets of water in a cloud have weight, so gravity gradually pulls them down and they sink lower and lower. As most of them fall, they reach the warmer layer of air, and this warmer air cause them to evaporate. So here we have clouds that don’t produce rain.
