Yes, the amount of electricity in lightning does equal 1.21 Jigawats
ligtning po.. its true..
Are there any myths about ball lightning no there are not any myths about balls of lightning this is a true fact
There are many types of lightning STREAMERS that start a lightning strike. There are 3 basic places where streamers will originate from. They can come from a cloud to the ground or the ground to a cloud or from cloud to cloud. So your teacher was correct. But not always from the ground.
No, lightning actually starts from the clouds and travels downward towards the ground. It is caused by the buildup of electrical charge within a cloud, which results in a discharge of electricity in the form of lightning.
false
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.
No. Lightning is a discharge of static electricity that produce light.
Lightning can still strike a building, but grounding makes the electricity in the lightning flow into the ground, making it a less of a danger to the people in the building. Yes its true
ligtning po.. its true..
We are long past the hypothesis stage, with regard to electricity, which is a very well understood phenomenon at this point. If you would like to know about the history of scientific investigation of electricity, there were a number of hypotheses, including the hypothesis that lightning is a form of electricity (which is true) and that nerve impulses are also a form of electricity (also true) and that electricity can be generated by some types of chemical reactions (also true) and that electricity can be used to make the Frankenstein monster come to life (not true).

True, lightning occurs as a result of the buildup and release of static electricity in the atmosphere. This buildup of charge creates an imbalance between the positively charged top of a cloud and the negatively charged ground below, resulting in a sudden discharge of electricity in the form of lightning.
Yes, lightning is caused by the discharge of built-up static electricity in the atmosphere. When the positive and negative charges within a cloud or between a cloud and the ground become too strong, they discharge in the form of lightning, equalizing the electrical imbalance.
No. No animal attracts lightning.

No...
Yes, that is true. Lightning is a natural electrical discharge that occurs when there is a buildup and subsequent release of static electricity in the atmosphere. The discharge can happen between clouds, or between a cloud and the ground, resulting in the visible flash of light we see as lightning.
