Clouds are condensed water vapor. The water of the river or the sea turns into water vapor in the heat of the sun. As water vapor is lighter than air, it rises upwards. Then they combine to form clouds. They move from one place to another with the wind. Again this water vapor rises up and loses heat and becomes water. Then these waters fall to the ground as rain. Hail showers occur after very hot weather. Because when the weather is hotter, the distance between the water vapor particles increases. As a result, water vapor becomes lighter. Being lighter than normal, they rise at a much faster speed. This fast-moving vapor becomes clouds and reaches the level of the atmosphere where the temperature is very low.
Thus, when water vapor or clouds enter the extremely cold parts of the atmosphere, the water vapor particles and water particles gradually turn into ice. At some point these ice pieces fall to the surface with rain. Basically this is hail. Although the ice is very big in the sky, it melts and becomes smaller as it falls down. As a result, the ice that we see in hail is much smaller in size.
