Question

Tell me what causes sleet in one four sentence paragraph

Answer 1

Sleet is a type of precipitation that occurs when snowflakes fall through a layer of warm air in the atmosphere, causing them to partially melt into water droplets. As these droplets continue to descend, they encounter a colder layer of air near the ground, where they refreeze into small, ice pellets. This process is typically associated with winter weather systems that bring conflicting temperature profiles in the atmosphere. The result is a mix of rain and snow, leading to the characteristic icy pellets known as sleet.
