What is the symbol of sleet?

The symbol of sleet is a cloud above, two drops of rain below and a snowflake in the middle. Sleet refers to semi-melted snow and wet snow, or rain and snow fall at the same time. It often happens when the near-surface temperature is slightly higher than 0 degrees Celsius. When the temperature gets cold, the temperature of dust drops faster than that of water droplets. At this time, water droplets will gather and attach to small dust, forming larger water droplets. When it is bigger than air, it will fall, and it will fall bigger and bigger, thus forming rain.

Definition of rain and snow

Sleet is a weather phenomenon in which raindrops and snow fall at the same time, and snow is the crystallization of water. Clouds in the sky encounter cold air, the temperature drops, and water vapor forms ice crystals under the combined action of low temperature and tiny dust. The volume keeps increasing.

When the density exceeds the air, it drops, that is, it snows. Generally, it doesn't snow in clear skies. But because of the different clouds, one layer is snow and the other layer is rain, so sleet will form.

Snow and rain are caused by clouds in the air or small water droplets that condense when cold. But it needs a nucleus in the early stage of its formation. This core is usually affected by dust in the air.
