Hail specifically is “Precipitation in the form of spherical or irregular pellets of ice larger than 5 millimeters (0.2 inch) in diameter, usually associated with thunderstorms.”
I also want to say that hail should have layers since it’s the ice particles floating up and down creating layers and making the precipitation quite large.
In my mind sleet is precipitation that doesn’t have snowflake patterns and are solid when they reach the ground. Freezing rain is when the rain is liquid but freezes after it lands on the ground.
