Hail consists of frozen raindrops the largest recorded was 6 inches wide what would cause a hailstone to get so large?

Hail is not simply frozen raindrops. Hail forms when a water droplet is carried into the upper part of a storm, freezes, falls, collects a new layer of moisture, then rises again to refreeze, this time into a larger piece of ice. This cycle repeats until the ahilstone is to heavy to be held up by air currents. Large hail occurs in thunderstorms with very strong updrafts that can keep such large objects suspended. Typically the storm is a supercell, a thunderstorm with a powerful, rotating updraft capable of producing large hail and strong tornadoes.

Hail can move both up and down in clouds?

Yes hail moves around within a cloud. As hail falls within a cloud it will gather moisture on its outside. The winds and updrafts within a storm cloud constantly swirl. As a piece of hail that has gotten wet swirls up higher in the cloud it refreezes with a new layer of ice and continues to do it and grow until it finally falls to earth. The longer it stays in the cloud and the more trips it makes, the larger it gets. If yoiu ever have large hail, collect a piece (after it stops hailing) and break it. You will see the different layers inside. It looks like a giant Jaw Breaker candy.
