Question

Sleet is precipitation made of small particles of ice. How does sleet form?

Answer 1

There must be a layer of air near the ground whose temperature is below freezing, where water turns to ice. Above this layer of freezing air must be a layer of warmer air. As snow falls through the warm air, it melts or partially melts into raindrops. It forms sleet before it reaches the ground.

Answer 2

Sleet is pellets of ice that form when snow falls into a warm layer and melts into rain. The rain then falls into a freezing layer of air that is deep enough to refreeze the raindrops into pellets. Sometimes the snow does not completely melt and the partially melted snowflakes refreeze into snow pellets.:
