Why can you sometimes see a spark if you can't see electricity?

At very high voltages electricity can ionize the air, allowing it to flow through the air. When this happens the ionized air can glow. One way you see this is a spark, another is lightening. It isn't the electricity itself you are seeing, it's the glowing air.
Neon lights work the same way. High voltage causes the neon or argon in the glass tubes to ionize and glow.

Does a small object always have less mass than a larger object?
not all the time but sometimes you can tell by the weight or sometimes you cant lift it to see how much mass is in it
How does light travel to one place to another?
by itself many scientists figured out that light travels by itself you can see light moving you cant touch it and cant hear it same with oxygen. oxygen is always around us we breath it and sometimes see it
What kind of energy can you not see or smell?
static electricity
How will scientists convert fusion to electricity?
See link below
Can electricity pass through the atmosphere of earth?
Yes, it is possible. We can see the high voltage electricity can pass through the atmosphere. When cloud makes the thunder then we can see that high voltage pass through the air.

Why is a bolt of lightning like the spark you see when you touch a metal object?
Both are static electricity.
Is static eletricity a very small lightning bolt?
The static electricity isn't. But the little spark you see when an object charged with static electricity touches something else is.
Why is it sometimes you can see the moon in the day and sometimes you can't see it at night?
u cant see the moon at night when its new moon I'm not sure about the day
After changing spark plugs why is the vehicle hard to drive?
You broke a plug wire- don't care if you cant see it... I CAN!
Why cant you always see the moon at nigttime?
sometimes clouds may block your view of the moon
How do you see an electric spark?
Look at a spark plug removed from the car and attached to a spark plug wire while the car is running. Look out the window during a lightning storm. If you wish to feela spark, grab a holdof the wire while the car is running.Another way is that you can create an electrostatic spark if you rub your shoe-coveredfeet on carpet and then move your finger close to something metal. If you're charged enough, then you should see a spark conduct from your finger to the object. Sometimes your feet have to be off the ground. By the way, the spark sometimes jumps back and sparks you too.
How do you check if a spark plug on a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower gets electricity?
Remove the spark plug from the engine. Attach the wire to the spark plug. Let the spark plug come in contact with the engine block. Make sure the ignition is turned on. If you have a safety bar you will have to pull it into operating mode. Pull the starter rope you should see a spark.
What reaction does this cause 2h2 o2 2h2o?
2 Lots of H2 (Hydrogen Gas) + 1 lot of O2 produces 2 lots of Water (H2O) and a tiny spark of electricity (see 'How is hydrogen used to make electricity?').

What do people observe everyday without noticing?
well people normally can see things but sometimes when they get nervous they barely cant notice anything.....but when they observe things they can see what that object is
