What is the definition of PRECIPITATION?

• Any form of water that falls to Earth's surface from the clouds; includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail.

• The measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface.

• The horizontal movement of air, caused by differences in air pressure.

• The measure of the transparency of the atmosphere.
