The difference between lightning and static is lightning is formed by giant clouds rubbed against each other and static is something such as flanel p.j.s rubbing together. Lightning is big, and static is small.

Ball lightning is usually associated with thunderstorms, but lasts considerably longer than the split-second flash of a lightning bolt. Many of the early reports say that the ball eventually explodes, sometimes with fatal consequences, leaving behind the odor of sulfur. I think that when lightning flashes electric magnetic fields combine and get the end of the lightning bolt and curve it baking it into a ball. watch this video of ball lightning at www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4vV3KxQ16c
No lightning is a noun.
Lightning can be used as a noun (bolt of lightning) or an adjective (lightning fast). It is not a verb, so it does not have a past tense form.
the sheet lightning is more mild then the ball lightning
Sheet lightning is Cloud to Cloud where Lightning is Cloud to Ground.
Yes. Heat lightning and sheet lightning are the same thing.
Lightning is formed with a nimbocumilus cloud.
No, it is not possible for sheet lightning to strike a person. Sheet lightning refers to the illumination of a widespread area of the sky due to a distant thunderstorm. It does not actually involve a physical discharge of lightning that can strike objects or people.
Heat lightning is the same thing as sheet lightning. It is not a distinct kind of lightning, but simply ordinary lightning that is too far away to see the bolt itself or hear the thunder.
Sheet lightning and Heat lightning are very similar, if not the same. They form the same way, but might strike different. For instance, sheet lightning looks more like a sheet in the sky, (strange eh? :D) and doesn't normally strike down into the ground, and when you have heat lightning, you see differently. But mostly, they form the same way. =D good luck!
Sheet lightning and heat lightning are descriptive terms rather than scientific. Sheet lighting is cloud to cloud lightning that is viewed from such a distance that there is no sound. Heat lightning can be either cloud to cloud or cloud to ground at same distance with the added element of color tinting from atmospheric particles as with a sunset.

Sheet lightning
Sheet lightning, or more accurately intracloud lightning is the same as lightning that hits the ground, the only difference is that it is within the cloud. They are no different apart from that. They are the exact same thing, except one would take a different path. They are both dangerous.
Well, a lightning bolt is formed by charged electrons and when it is released, it is electricity.
