Precipitation is any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere and reaches the ground. It is a key component of the Earth's water cycle and can occur in various forms, including: 1. **Rain**: Liquid water droplets that fall when atmospheric conditions permit. 2. **Snow**: Ice crystals that fall when temperatures are low enough for water vapor to freeze. 3. **Sleet**: Small ice pellets that form when rain freezes before reaching the ground.
