I remember once in a book I had found a distinction amongst the various way of saying "to fall". The description it was not much due to the thing/person falling, but more like the way they fall. If I well remember 降る describes more a vertical fall. 落ちる is more the generic word and includes figurative speech (恋に落ちる). I think there were another couple of ways, but I don't recall.

However to answer your question, yes it does.
