Lightning is static electricity. It's a buildup of charge, and it is facilitated by charge separation. In that light, it is DC.
Static discharge is causes the spark that is seen when electricity in a thunderhead discharges. The most common name for this type of spark or discharge is lightening.
Because there is a difference in the charge states of the earth and the clouds, resulting from the static electricity built up by water molecules moving about in the thundercloud. When this difference in charge states is equalized, there is usually a visible arc, which we call lightning.
Radio waves do not cause lightning. Lightning is a natural electrostatic discharge caused by the buildup of electric charge in the atmosphere. While radio waves can interact with lightning strikes and create static interference, they do not directly cause the phenomenon.
Lightning is a large-scale discharge of static electricity that occurs in the atmosphere during a thunderstorm. Both lightning and static electricity involve the buildup and release of electrical charge, but lightning occurs between clouds or between a cloud and the ground on a much larger scale than typical static discharges.
Lightning is like static electricity, except on a much bigger scale. Both lightning and static electricity happen because of the attraction between the opposite charges. protons, and electrons
True. Lightning is a natural example of static electricity, which occurs when there is a build-up of electrical charge in the atmosphere that discharges in the form of a lightning bolt.
Lightning is produced by the buildup and discharge of static electricity in the atmosphere, typically caused by the separation of positive and negative charges within a cloud or between a cloud and the ground. So, it is produced by static charge rather than being static charge itself.
A huge release of static electrical charge is called a discharge, commonly seen as lightning during a storm.
it is the kenetic energy produced by water molecules rubbing against each other that's also why lightning is hot because of the molecules rubing together and heating up Electric charge is not kinetic energy. Lightning is Electrostatic charge finding its way back to earth, from where it originally came. The electrical energy is converted to heat in the materials it strikes.

When lightning strikes, it discharges a massive amount of electrical energy. This discharge creates a visible flash of light and heat, as well as a loud thundering sound due to the rapid expansion and contraction of air.
