Best Answer

Condensed water molecules fall out of clouds as snow. If they hit a warmer part of air (over 32 degrees F) then they melt into rain. If they hit a colder part of air before they hit the ground, but after they go through the warmer air, then they form a slushy like snow called sleet.

Rain that freezes on the way down is?

This can be either sleet or freezing rain, though both technically start as snow and melt into rain. Sleet is rain that is able to freeze back into ice pellets before reaching the ground. Freezing rain is rain that does not have enough time to freeze into ice before reaching the ground - the cold layer is very shallow to the ground, so it is rain that freezes on contact with cold surfaces.
