There is much confusion over the "up" or "down" motion of lightning bolts, but in most cases it is initiated by the flow of negative ions in clouds to a positively charged point at another point (cloud or ground). What is referred to as "lightning" is a luminous path of superheated air caused by repeated current flows from the ground and the air. In certain cloud types, the interaction of ice and water (and possibly the Earth's magnetic field) creates a surplus of negatively charged particles, usually near the bottom of the cloud. Where the ground and objects below have accumulated positive charges, an electric discharge can occur. This is preceded by "step leaders" moving down from the clouds and "positive leaders" moving up from the ground. Where these streams come in contact, the negative ions flow to the ground, followed by a return flow of positive ions. This can occur multiple times in the same lightning strike.
From the ground up is usually how it works but it learns out there are different types of lighting like ground lighting that looks like a ball.
ground ?
What causes lighting??????? What causes lighting???????
A lighting bolt is a strike of light through the sky and if your looking this up WOW!:PIt is a lightening discharge between/within clouds and the ground
lighting is not a fire ball lighting is just an electirc shock that comes from the sky and can light thing on fire but it is not a fire ball
i guess it all depends on were it is directly at and lighting can go until it hits the ground

Believe it or not, lightning actually begins in the ground and shoots up. However, this happens with such speed that it seems that it comes from the sky.
Lighting can only occur from cloud to ground.
Anger and the sky
Yes, lightning can come from the ground because the electrons want to go to the holes in the sky. Most people think that lightning comes from the clouds, but it doesn't. There is no electricity in clouds, only moisture.

that proves that Zeus is of the sky
Zeus (or Jupitier in Rome) is the Greek god of lighting, the sky and king of the heavens.
