General Navigation USCG Question #744 (Set 24)

Which of the following is NOT a form of precipitation?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — frost

Frost is a deposit of ice crystals formed by direct sublimation of water vapor onto a surface below freezing. Unlike rain, snow, or sleet, which are forms of hydrometeors falling through the atmosphere, frost is a surface phenomenon. Therefore, it is not classified as a form of precipitation in meteorological standards.
