Scott Bachmeier, a research meteorologist at the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies at UW-Madison, says that particles in the air scatter light. In the day, the particles scatter more violet and blue light, but our eyes are more sensitive to blue light - that's why the sky appears blue. Thunderstorms, which can be the home of tornadoes, usually happen later in the day, when the sun is approaching the horizon. That creates a reddish tinge in the sky, as any fan of sunsets knows. But light under a 12-mile high thundercloud is primarily blue, due to scattering by water droplets within the cloud. When blue objects are illuminated with red light, Bachmeier says, they appear green. Green is significant, but not proof that a tornado is on the way. A green cloud "will only occur if the cloud is very deep, which generally only occurs in thunderstorm clouds," Bachmeier says. "Those are the kind of storms that may produce hail and tornadoes." Green does indicate that the cloud is extremely tall, and since thunderclouds are the tallest clouds, green is a warning sign that large hail or a tornado may be present. If this explanation is confusing, Bachmeier offers some alternative folk wisdom for the color change: that tornadoes sucked frogs and grasshoppers into the sky.
The ice crystals that fall from the sky are called snow or snowflakes.
Pieces of ice falling from clouds is called snow or hail.
Urm...hail
SLEET
The sky takes on a green tinge when there is a change of temperature in low level water laden clouds. This can indicate that there is a cold area that can cause a tornado if the surrounding area is warmer, a hail storm as the frozen water is released or other violent weather phenomena.
The storms that produce tornadoes often produce hail as well. The presence of hail causes light to be refracted in an unusual way.
During a tornado, or before the wind picks up and the sky may get very dark. Sometimes the sky can even turn green. Tornadoes mainly happen in severe thunderstorms, so sometimes there can be hail too.
Hail can have many meanings, such as "hailing" a taxi, "hail" that falls from the sky, "hail" as in "greet," etc. Though I'm not sure which context you're referring to, the hail that falls from the sky is 'arare.' "Hail" as in "Hail to the king!" is 'banzai.' "Hail" as in "greet" can be 'aisatsu suru.'
