Question

Much of the water that falls from clouds starts as ice true or false?

Answer 1

True. Much of the water that falls from clouds begins as ice crystals. In colder regions of the atmosphere, water vapor condenses directly into ice when temperatures are below freezing. These ice crystals can grow and eventually fall to the ground as snow or can melt to form rain if they pass through warmer air before reaching the surface. Even in non-freezing conditions, processes like supercooled water can contribute to ice formation in clouds.
