Ice crystals falling from the sky are not branched like snowflakes, but tend to be more needle-like. They weigh less than snowflakes, and therefore can seem almost suspended in the air. They often cause strange optical illusions as light reflects off them; at night, light appears to shoot straight up into the sky like a pillar. They are also responsible for "sun dogs", the rainbow like bars that can appear on either side of the sun.

Ice crystals from the sky may referred to snow. Just in case, ice falling as light and fluffy crystal is snow and solid ice with the size and shape of a pebble to a stone is called hail.
