The word "precipitation" refers to any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface.
it breaks and melts... duh ^^^^^^^^^BTW I"M The one who wrote down here and your answer SUCKS Many people says it melts, but it actually falls, makes snow, then melts, and makes condensation. ^^^^^^ The answer above this paragraph will NOT help you don't use it in your Home Work I researched 4 you!!! Hope this helps!!!
No. Occasionally storms occur and there is no rain. This happens most often in arid regions. In many cases the rain falls, but evaporates before reaching the ground, a phenomenon called virga.
Approximately 90% of the water that evaporates from the Earth's surface falls back as precipitation, including rain, snow, sleet, or hail. The remaining 10% is transferred through evapotranspiration and does not return directly as precipitation.
The Earth's water cycle is evaporation of water from the oceans, the clouds so formed, the rain that falls from the clouds, the runoff of the rain into watercourses that flow eventually into the oceans, and the process of evaporation begins again.
100% of rain falls to Earth. That is the definition of rain. Precipitation.
Most of Earth's fresh water falls to the ground as rain.
Water
Precipation
Most of the water that falls as precipitation originates from the evaporation of water from Earth's surface, primarily from oceans, lakes, and rivers. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere, condenses to form clouds, and eventually falls back to the Earth as precipitation.
Yes, rain falls on Earth as a result of condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere forming clouds, which then release water droplets as precipitation. Rain is an essential part of Earth's water cycle.

it gets wet.
Heavy rain? As in pouring? It will come as droplets and hit a surface, then it will splatter and spread, usually to a .75 inch diameter for a large raindrop.
Water in the atmosphere stays there as water vapor, or it condenses and falls as rain, snow, hail, etc.
