Why does lightning strike so much in Florida?
Because the tropical heat on the surrounding ocean creates warm moist air that drives thunderstorms, which are the weather phenomena that create lightning.
Do thunder resultes from the explansion of air along the lightning strike?
Yes, the tremendous heat caused by the Electrical Discharge, and the Ionization of the Air result in the explosive expansion of the surrounding air.
How hot can lightning make the surrounding air?
0 Kelvin, so be careful!
When water evaporate it heat energy and the surrounding air?
when water evaporates it absorbs heat energy and cools the surrounding air
What is the result of rapid heating of air around a lightning bolt?
This results in the sound of thunder. The extreme heat around a bolt of lightning causes air around it to expand rapidly. Then, it cools quickly and contracts. The rapid movement of the molecules forms sound waves heard as thunder.
Lightning heats the surrounding air to?
Lightning heats surrounding air to as much as33,000degrees C.Thunderresults from superheated air expanding explosively, generating sound waves.

How can heat be produced by bolt lighting?
a flash can heat the air around it to temperatures five times hotter than the sun's surface. This heat causes surrounding air to rapidly expand and vibrate, which creates the pealing thunder we hear a short time after seeing a lightning flash

Why does heat go from a hot place to a cooler place?
It loses heat to the surrounding air.
How does the sun heat the air surrounding earth?
because its really hot it uses its heat
What is produced when static electricity is discharged in the air?
An atmospheric discharge of static electricity is called lightning.
Why is paper a insulator?
It creates a shield of air to keep the heat in and surrounding cool air out.

What makes the loud lighting sound?
The noise coming from a lightning is created when the speed of sound is broken.The heat from the electricity raises the temperature of the surrounding air extremely. Since the lightning is so fast, the air has no time to expand.The heated air is compressed and soon the air explodes forming a shock wave. Like an explosion, the rapidly expanding waves of compressed air create a loud burst of noise.
