Answer:

Freezing rain comes when the cold layer is small. This doesn't allow the raindrops to fully freeze before hitting the ground. Sleet forms when there is enough time for the raindrops to freeze completely before hitting the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

Sleet is already half-frozen, while freezing rain is icey cold and freezes when it hits the ground
