How does humidity level affect the amount of static electricity that can be build up on a balloon?
It affects by not allowing as much static electricity to stay on the balloon's surface. When the air has more moisture in it (humidity), the static electricity picked up is more likely to disperse in the air than stay on the surface area. As it's the opposite when the air is dry....when the balloon picks up the static electricity, it is more likely to hold on to it than in dryer air than disperse it like it does in warmer air.
Why does a helicopter generate static electricity?
Any aircraft moving through the air generates static electricity.
How static electricity is used in cleaning polluted air?
Static electricity attracts dust, soot, and other pollutants form passing air or smoke.
Where does static electricity occur?
when 2 bodies are rubbed together,electrons are transferred this causes static electricity.
What are the conditions that could cause air to conduct electricity?
Moisture.

Why does dry air cause static electricity?
moisture can't travle through wet things as well.
Can you get static elecricty from the air?
Technically you can not get static electricity from the air. But, static electricity does depend on the air. during the winter, there is more of a chance you will be shocked.

Is lighting static electricity?
Yes, it is static electricity caused by the charge build up from the movement of air over the earth.
Why is static electricity worse in the winter than the summer?
Frictional electricity is observed more in winter than summer because of the static electricity which happens more in winter than in summer. Static electricity usually results when to materials that are dissimilar are rubbed together.
What is produced when static electricity is discharged into the air?
Ozone
How can static electricity help not to pollute the air?
Static electricity can't because first off it all it is the transferreing of electrons to other atoms. It can atucallty pollute the air.

Is it possible to make electricity in air without using any machine?
Yes, static electricity
