lightning varies in atomic composition. you could have billions and billions of atoms, or you could have perhaps a few million. but more or less, lightning is a mass of electrical energy generated but an imbalance of positive to negative ions in the clouds. it is how humid the air is during any particular thunderstorm that determines whether there are tens of billions of atoms or only around a million. keep in mind that the less humid the air, the easier it is for lightning to reach the target to which it is drawn to; now in more humid air, you can relax more so than in drier air because all the water in the air decreases the energy the lightning is carrying with it, thus decreasing the chances the lightning will even come near the ground. so in short, it really depends where you are. hope this helped.

Is the world made up of atoms?
YES!!! There billions and trillions of atoms just in the EArth. In fact the whole of the Cosmos/universe is made up of atoms!!!!! The number of them is just uncountable.
What are substances that are extended structures made up of billions of tightly packed atoms and molecules?
Just about anything you can see with your naked eye is made up of billions of molecules.
How many uses are there for the atom?
Countless billions and maybe even infinity. Everything that you can see touch or smell all the matter in the world is made up of atoms. Even you are. Atoms are the building blocks of the world. Every star, being and thing is made of atoms.
Does lightning have atoms?
No, lightning does not have atoms. Lightning is an electrical discharge that occurs when there is a difference in electrical potential between two points, typically between a cloud and the ground. It is the movement of electrons through the air that creates the lightning bolt.
A lightning bolt occurs when billions of what are transferred at the same time?
Not sure but its either watts or electrons

A lightning bolt occurs when billions of protons are transferred at the same time?
yes!
How many atoms does people have?
no one knows for sure but billions of them
How many atoms are in one sponge?
No one knows how many atoms are in a sponge. There has to be billions of atoms because in one strand of your hair there is about a million atoms.

What occurs when lightning is produced?
Lightning occurs when extreme voltages of static electricity (millions or even billions of volts) actually tear electrons off air atoms and molecules to create the current path the lightning is going to use. This tearing off of electrons is called ionization, and energy is added to electrons to get atoms to ionize. When the electrons return from their high energy states, they do so by emitting light. Pretty much all frequencies of light (meaning all colours) are emitted, and this creates the white light we see.
Are oxygen atoms in all living things?
Yes. There are billions of atoms inside of eveyone and they're all around us.
How many atoms are in living things?
Atoms,The Tiniest Thing in your body, Well your Questions Is A Bit Less Pacific. Atoms Are Absolutely Uncountable. Why? : They are the tiniest particles in your body. So it will be Billions of atoms.
