Open in App
Solution

  • Sleets are those water droplets that have risen above the ground as water vapor during evaporation and got condensed at the upper layer of the atmosphere.
  • From here when they pour down as rain sometimes the temperature around that area might be pretty cold so that by the time a droplet reaches the ground, it freezes to ice and comes down as what is called sleet.

Thus, A mixture of rain and snow is sleet.
