The ice crystals that fall from the sky are called snow or snowflakes.
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.
Snow falling from the sky is called snow. THe act of snow falling is called snowing.
That process is called precipitation. It occurs when water droplets or ice crystals in the clouds become too heavy to remain aloft and fall to the ground under the influence of gravity. This can take the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail depending on the atmospheric conditions.
a combination of rain and snow together is called "snaine"
Solid white flakes of water that fall from the sky are known as snow. Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals and falls to the ground.
Hail.
Hail
snow or hail
no Ice particles fall from the sky but Ice crystals form on the ground.
Snow
'Sleet' or 'hail'.
It is called hail
