: its a reminder that I (or someone else willing to do the research) need to go back and properly cite these facts. It isn't a controversial issue (one would hope), but rather "this is a fact, it needs a citation." --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 17:40, 2 April 2007 (EDT)

:I believe it's a bit more complicated than that. Yes water vapor condenses in clouds but an intermediate step is that the water vapor turns into a crystal (ice) and collects more water which also turns to ice. Only after the updrafts that cause the water vapor to condense (at altitude) cf [[Boyles laws]] of gases where decreased pressure proportionally decreases temperature thus forming the initial ice crystals...this "hail" falls through the troposphere where it melts into a raindrop, (usually). I don't have cites for this but only as a hobby (weather). [[User:Rob Pommer| Cracker]]<sub>[[User_talk:Rob_Pommer|talk]]</sub> 17:57, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
