Choose the correct answer.

Why don’t hailstones usually get bigger than 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter?
A. They get too heavy to remain in the clouds as they get bigger.
B. They do get bigger than 6 inches.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

Hailstones are created when the warm updrafts of a thunderstorm push water up into the colder parts of the Earth’s atmosphere. As the hailstones get bigger, those updrafts can’t support the hails’ weight and so they fall to the Earth.
