What Is Hail?

Hail is a type of solid precipitation consisting of balls or lumps of ice.

(¿ì¹ÚÀº ¾óÀ½À¸·Î µÈ °ø ¸ð¾çÀ̳ª µ¢¾î¸® ¸ð¾çÀÇ °íü °­¼ö ÇüÅÂÀÔ´Ï´Ù.)

Unlike snow, hail forms in strong thunderstorms with intense updrafts and cold temperatures.

(´«°ú ´Þ¸®, ¿ì¹ÚÀº °­ÇÑ »ó½Â ±â·ù¿Í ³·Àº ¿Âµµ¸¦ °¡Áø °­·ÂÇÑ ³ú¿ì ¼Ó¿¡¼­ Çü¼ºµË´Ï´Ù.)

Hailstones can vary in size, from small pellets to large stones bigger than a golf ball.

(¿ì¹ÚÀº ÀÛÀº ¾Ë°»À̺ÎÅÍ °ñÇÁ°øº¸´Ù Å« Å©±â±îÁö ´Ù¾çÇÕ´Ï´Ù.)

 

 

 

A simple definition of hail:

"Hail is frozen precipitation formed inside thunderstorm clouds when water droplets are carried upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere."

(¿ì¹ÚÀº ´ë±âÀÇ ¸Å¿ì Â÷°¡¿î Áö¿ªÀ¸·Î ¹°¹æ¿ïÀÌ À§·Î ¿Ã¶ó°¡¸é¼­ ³ú¿ì ±¸¸§ ¾È¿¡¼­ Çü¼ºµÈ ¾ó¾îºÙÀº °­¼öÀÔ´Ï´Ù.)

 

 

 

Why Does Hail Fall? (¿ì¹ÚÀÌ ³»¸®´Â ÀÌÀ¯)

Hail forms when several specific atmospheric conditions happen at the same time.

(¿ì¹ÚÀº ¿©·¯ °¡Áö ƯÁ¤ÇÑ ´ë±â Á¶°ÇÀÌ µ¿½Ã¿¡ ¹ß»ýÇÒ ¶§ Çü¼ºµË´Ï´Ù.)

 

Here¡¯s how it works:

 

Strong Updrafts

(°­ÇÑ »ó½Â ±â·ù)

 

Thunderstorms produce powerful upward winds called updrafts.

(³ú¿ì´Â »ó½Â ±â·ù¶ó°í ºÒ¸®´Â °­ÇÑ À§·Î ÇâÇÏ´Â ¹Ù¶÷À» ¸¸µé¾î³À´Ï´Ù.)

These winds lift water droplets high into the storm cloud.

(ÀÌ ¹Ù¶÷µéÀº ¹°¹æ¿ïÀ» ÆøÇ³ ±¸¸§ ¼Ó ³ôÀº °÷À¸·Î µé¾î ¿Ã¸³´Ï´Ù.)

 

Freezing Temperatures

(¾î´Â ¿Âµµ)

 

The higher the droplet goes, the colder it gets.

(¹°¹æ¿ïÀÌ ´õ ³ôÀÌ ¿Ã¶ó°¥¼ö·Ï ¿Âµµ´Â ´õ ³·¾ÆÁý´Ï´Ù.)

Eventually, the water droplets freeze into tiny ice particles.

(°á±¹ ¹°¹æ¿ïÀº ÀÛÀº ¾óÀ½ ÀÔÀÚ·Î ¾ó°Ô µË´Ï´Ù.)

 

Repeated Up and Down Movements

(¹Ýº¹ÀûÀÎ À§¾Æ·¡ À̵¿)

 

The ice particles are caught in the updrafts and downdrafts.

(¾óÀ½ ÀÔÀÚµéÀº »ó½Â ±â·ù¿Í Çϰ­ ±â·ù¿¡ ÀÇÇØ ÈÖ¸»¸³´Ï´Ù.)

Each cycle adds more layers of ice around the hailstone.

(°¢ ¼øÈ¯¸¶´Ù ¿ì¹Ú ÁÖº¯¿¡ ´õ ¸¹Àº ¾óÀ½ ÃþÀÌ ½×ÀÔ´Ï´Ù.)

 

Too Heavy to Stay Aloft

(°øÁß¿¡ ¸Ó¹° ¼ö ¾øÀ» Á¤µµ·Î ¹«°Å¿öÁü)

 

When the hailstone becomes too heavy for the updraft to support, it falls to the ground.

(¿ì¹ÚÀÌ »ó½Â ±â·ù°¡ ÁöÅÊÇÒ ¼ö ¾øÀ» ¸¸Å­ ¹«°Å¿öÁö¸é ¶¥À¸·Î ¶³¾îÁý´Ï´Ù.)

 

Thus, hail is not just random ice from the sky—it¡¯s a complex product of violent storm dynamics!

How Hail Forms: The Detailed Process (¿ì¹Ú »ý¼º°úÁ¤)


Let¡¯s look at the hail formation step-by-step:

(¿ì¹Ú »ý¼º °úÁ¤À» ´Ü°èº°·Î »ìÆìº¾½Ã´Ù.)

 

1.Cumulonimbus clouds grow tall due to warm, moist air.

(µû¶æÇÏ°í ½ÀÇÑ °ø±â¿¡ ÀÇÇØ Àû¶õ¿îÀÌ ³ôÀÌ ¼ºÀåÇÕ´Ï´Ù.)

 

2.Water vapor condenses into water droplets.

(¼öÁõ±â°¡ ¹°¹æ¿ï·Î ÀÀ°áÇÕ´Ï´Ù.)

 

3.Updrafts carry the droplets into extremely cold regions of the cloud.

(»ó½Â ±â·ù°¡ ¹°¹æ¿ïÀ» ±¸¸§ÀÇ ¸Å¿ì Â÷°¡¿î Áö¿ªÀ¸·Î ¿î¹ÝÇÕ´Ï´Ù.)

 

4.Droplets freeze and form tiny ice nuclei.

(¹°¹æ¿ïÀÌ ¾ó¾î ÀÛÀº ¾óÀ½ ÇÙÀ» Çü¼ºÇÕ´Ï´Ù.)

 

5.The ice nuclei collect supercooled water droplets.

(¾óÀ½ ÇÙÀÌ °ú³Ã°¢µÈ ¹°¹æ¿ïÀ» ¸ðÀ¾´Ï´Ù.)

 

6.Layers of ice build up as the hailstone cycles through the cloud.

(¿ì¹ÚÀÌ ±¸¸§ ¼ÓÀ» ¼øÈ¯Çϸ鼭 ¾óÀ½ ÃþÀÌ ½×ÀÔ´Ï´Ù.)

 

7.When the stone becomes too heavy, it falls as hail.

(¿ì¹ÚÀÌ ³Ê¹« ¹«°Å¿öÁö¸é ¶¥À¸·Î ¶³¾îÁý´Ï´Ù.)

 

Each hailstone can tell a story of the storm's strength by the number of layers it has!

Difference Between Hail and Snow (¿ì¹Ú°ú ´«ÀÇ Â÷ÀÌ)


It¡¯s common to confuse hail with snow, but they are very different.

 

1.Formation Process

(Çü¼º °úÁ¤)

 

Snow forms from ice crystals that stick together inside cold clouds.

(´«Àº Â÷°¡¿î ±¸¸§ ¾È¿¡¼­ ¾óÀ½ °áÁ¤ÀÌ ¼­·Î ºÙ¾î¼­ Çü¼ºµË´Ï´Ù.)

 

Hail forms from water droplets that freeze and accumulate layers inside thunderstorms.

(¿ì¹ÚÀº ³ú¿ì ¼Ó¿¡¼­ ¾ó¾îºÙ°í ¿©·¯ ÃþÀÌ ½×ÀÎ ¹°¹æ¿ï·Î Çü¼ºµË´Ï´Ù.)

 

2.Appearance

(¿ÜÇü)

 

Snowflakes are delicate and light.

(´«¼ÛÀÌ´Â ¼¶¼¼ÇÏ°í °¡º±½À´Ï´Ù.)

 

Hailstones are hard, heavy, and often round.

(¿ì¹ÚÀº ´Ü´ÜÇÏ°í ¹«°Ì°í Á¾Á¾ µÕ±Þ´Ï´Ù.)

 

3.Weather Conditions

(³¯¾¾ Á¶°Ç)

 

Snow usually occurs in calm, cold conditions.

(´«Àº º¸Åë Â÷°©°í Æò¿ÂÇÑ Á¶°Ç¿¡¼­ ¹ß»ýÇÕ´Ï´Ù.)

 

Hail needs strong thunderstorms and severe updrafts.

(¿ì¹ÚÀº °­ÇÑ ³ú¿ì¿Í ½ÉÇÑ »ó½Â ±â·ù°¡ ÇÊ¿äÇÕ´Ï´Ù.)

 

Understanding these differences helps you predict what to expect during different types of storms.

Fascinating Facts About Hail (¿ì¹Ú¿¡ ´ëÇØ)


The largest hailstone recorded in the United States weighed about 2 pounds (around 0.9 kilograms)!

Hailstones are often layered like an onion, showing how many times they cycled inside the cloud.

Some hailstones fall at speeds up to 100 mph (about 160 km/h).

(ÀϺΠ¿ì¹ÚÀº ½Ã¼Ó ¾à 160ų·Î¹ÌÅÍ ¼Óµµ·Î ¶³¾îÁý´Ï´Ù.)

 

 

 

 

Hail is an amazing and powerful weather phenomenon formed by the perfect combination of moisture, temperature, and storm dynamics.
