Question
sleet forms directly from which type of precipitation?
snowflakes
hail
rain droplets
dust
Sleet is formed when snowflakes partially melt as they fall through a layer of warmer air and then refreeze into ice pellets as they pass through a layer of sub - freezing air near the ground. So, it forms directly from snowflakes. Hail forms through a different process involving updrafts in thunderstorms. Rain droplets would just be rain if they don't refreeze. Dust is not a form of precipitation related to sleet formation.
