It's all from the water cycle. First water vapor rises up into the sky and forms clouds. When water droplets get too heavy in the clouds they precipitate. So to answer your question clouds and water

Precipitation is produced from the condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere, which forms clouds and eventually falls to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This process is primarily driven by changes in temperature and air pressure.
No, thunder is not an example of precipitation. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air heated by a lightning strike. Precipitation refers to water droplets or ice crystals that fall from clouds and reach the ground, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Acid rain is produced when sulfur compounds react with water in the atmosphere, leading to the formation of sulfuric acid and other acidic compounds. This type of precipitation can be harmful to the environment, causing damage to ecosystems, buildings, and infrastructure.
In a considerable tornado, the amount of precipitation produced can vary depending on the size and intensity of the tornado. Tornadoes are typically associated with heavy rainfall, hail, and sometimes even snow or sleet. The precipitation can range from a few inches to several feet in extreme cases, with the most intense tornadoes capable of producing significant amounts of precipitation in a short period of time.
Cumulonimbus clouds can produce a variety of precipitation, including rain, snow, hail, or sleet. The specific type of precipitation that is produced depends on the temperature and atmospheric conditions within the cloud.
Co-precipitation occurs when impurities are incorporated into the precipitate during its formation, while post-precipitation happens when the impurities are removed after the primary precipitation process. Co-precipitation involves simultaneous precipitation of multiple substances, while post-precipitation involves sequential precipitation steps after the primary precipitation reaction.
