Not a scientist, but I do believe that as the air is supercharged, its chemical make up is changed by the electricty. It also makes a funny sizzling noise as it becomes ozone... If you hear this noise, get out of there and double quick, as it means a strike is imminent. Believe me, from experience, you don't want to be too close to these things!!
The sun produced each kind of waves. These UV are important as they create ozone.
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.
Each lightning "strike" is typically many (perhaps a hundred) bursts of electrons moving in ever longer paths from the earth to a cloud or between clouds. It is rare for a lightning bolt to strike the same location on different occasions but lightning rods will conduct electricity and many have done so for a great number of lightning strikes.
This doesn't really make sense because there is no specific time span between lightning strikes. The only thing I can say is that if the lightning is brighter, than it is no more than three miles way from where you are currently. And I'm not talking about altitude either.
The odds of a lightning strike do not necessarily increase after an initial strike. Each lightning strike is an independent event, and the odds of the next strike are determined by various factors such as weather conditions and geographical location. While lightning can be more likely during certain weather patterns, there is no direct correlation between subsequent strikes based on a previous one.
On average, about 20-30 people die from lightning strikes in the United States each year. However, this number can vary annually.
Florida is the US county that receives the most lightning deaths each year. On average, about 10 people die from lightning strikes in Florida annually.
On average, around 11-12 people are killed by lightning strikes each year in the Philippines. Lightning safety measures and awareness campaigns are in place to reduce these incidents.
Florida has the the highest lightning strike density in the USA. There are about 8 million lightning strikes around the world each day. The odds of being struck by lightning in your life are 5000 to 1. The earth is struck by lightning 100 times each second.
No. Lightning and propulsion systems that we currently use have no relation to each other. Lightning is an atmospheric phenomenon and there is no atmosphere in space. The only thing along this line of thinking that may be distantly related is the theory of using an ion drive as a propulsion system. According to the theory, this may allow spacecraft to approach the speed of light. Ions are produced during lightning strikes, so there is a slight correlation.
thunder comes after the lightning. so, the lightning is related to how thunders are form. when lightning strikes, it warms the air surrounded to it. then, when the hot air meets and crash with each other, they make a noise.

Using a cell phone does not make you more vulnerable to lightning strikes, but an average of 60 people die each year from lightning strikes in the United States. The NOAA advises people to stay indoors, to not use electrical appliances and avoid bathing during lightning storms.
The Empire Statebuilding located in New York is strucked by lightning 100 times each year. The Empire Statebuilding located in New York is strucked by lightning 100 times each year. The Empire Statebuilding located in New York is strucked by lightning 100 times each year.
Regular oxygen molecues are O2; two oxygen atoms bound together. Ozone is THREE oxygen atoms bound together, so "O3". Ozone is commonly formed near high-voltage electricity like lightning strikes where the O2 molecule is broken apart, and each of the single oxygen atoms bind to an O2 molecule to form O3. Ozone also forms where oxygen is incompletely burned, such as in internal combustion engines. O3 is VERY reactive, and so it readily breaks apart and combines with other compounds. Down low, ozone is an air pollutant, because it's an irritant to the lungs, but up high it absorbs high-energy radiation and contributes to the protective layer of our atmosphere. Freon (the active agent in refrigeration systems) can react with the ozone and break it up. Down low, no problem, but high in the atmosphere, it degrades the "ozone layer". However, ozone is also CREATED by high-energy radiation in the atmosphere, just as it is around lightning strikes. So the "ozone layer" problem is generally not as serious as some of the fanatics want to claim.

On average, around 49 people are killed by lightning strikes in the United States each year. Lightning strikes can be fatal due to the high voltage and current they carry, which can cause cardiac arrest or severe injuries to the nervous system. It is important to seek shelter indoors during a thunderstorm to reduce the risk of being struck by lightning.
