Water that falls to Earth in any form, like rain, snow, sleet, or hail

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a party with a variety of drinks being served, but you're not sure what you'll end up with in your glass. Just like the uncertainty of which drink you'll receive, precipitation involves different forms of water falling from the sky, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. The connection is that just as a party guest might receive any beverage from the selection, the Earth can receive any type of precipitation depending on the atmospheric conditions, with temperature and air pressure acting like the bartender deciding what gets served.
