(a) Why does it become colder after a hailstorm than during or before the hailstorm?
Ans- Before and during the hailstorm there is plenty amount of heat present in the atmosphere. But after the hail-storm ice absorbs heat energy required for melting from the surrounding, so the temperature of surrounding fall and we feel cold
