    Question

    When rain and snow is mixed together and fall on the ground, they are called as:

    1. Hail
    2. Dew
    3. Sleet
    4. Mist

    Hint:

    Also called partially frozen rain.

    The correct answer is: Sleet

      When rain and snow are mixed together and fall on the ground, they are called: Sleet.
      Mixed rain-snow is precipitation that is a mixture of rain and partially melted snow. Unlike freezing rain, which is a solid block of ice or liquid until it hits an object and completely freezes, this precipitate is soft and translucent, but a trail of ice crystals from partially melted snowflakes also called slush. This type of precipitation is commonly known as sleet in most countries.
