Olson, J. Kwiatkowski . What is precipitation?. Water that falls from the sky, it can be in different forms.. Hail, sleet, snow, rain.. Rain. As warm air rises into the atmosphere it cools. The air creates water vapor which condenses and forms into clouds. Once the clouds are big enough and are holding enough water it begins to rain.. . Photograph: Tony Clarke, VOCALS .

Water vapor, droplets of water suspended in the air, builds up in the Earth's atmosphere. . Water vapor in the atmosphere is visible as clouds and fog. . Water vapor collects with other materials, such as dust, in clouds. Precipitation condenses, or forms, around these tiny pieces of material, called cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).. Crown King.

The ascending air mass with sufficient amount of water . vapours. becomes saturated due to adiabatic cooling. Condensation of water . Precipitation can be divided into three categories. . based on whether it falls as liquid water, liquid water that freezes on contact with the surface, or . ice.
