Sleet is a type of precipitation consisting of ice pellets, formed when raindrops freeze before reaching the ground. It typically occurs during winter weather conditions when a layer of warm air is sandwiched between two cold layers, causing the raindrops to refreeze as they fall through the colder air near the surface.

A surface is a two-dimensional manifold that represents the boundary or outermost layer of a three-dimensional object. It is a fundamental concept in geometry and topology, playing a crucial role in fields such as physics, engineering, and computer graphics for modeling and analyzing shapes and spaces.
