What else can I help you with?
Is true producing lighting?
Yes, it is true that lightning is produced during a thunderstorm. Lightning is a discharge of electricity that occurs between charged regions in a thundercloud, or between a cloud and the ground.
You were told from a earth science teacher that lightning starts from the ground is this true?
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.
Is it true that a building can be protected from lightning by grounding?
Yes, grounding is a common method to protect a building from lightning strikes. By providing a direct path for the electrical energy of a lightning strike to travel safely into the ground, grounding systems can help prevent damage to the structure and its occupants.
What The electrical discharge in lightning often occurs between cloud and ground?
Yes, lightning is a natural electrical discharge that occurs within clouds or between clouds and the ground. This happens when the buildup of electrical charges within a cloud or between a cloud and the ground becomes too large and is discharged through a lightning bolt.
What is it called when lightning strikes the ground?
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.
Is it true that lightning strike only twice?
Nope - lightning can strike the same place multiple times if the object presents enough ionic attraction to ground the charge.
Does lightning travel from the ground up?
Yes, lightning typically travels from the ground up.
Does lightning start from the ground or from the clouds?
Lightning typically starts from the clouds and travels towards the ground.
Does lightning come up from the ground during a thunderstorm?
No, lightning does not come up from the ground during a thunderstorm. Lightning typically originates from the clouds and strikes downward towards the ground.
How many bushfires are started by lightning strikes?
About 3,000 fires a year are started by lightning strikes.
Does lightning strike from the ground up or from the sky down?
Lightning typically strikes from the sky down to the ground.
How does lightning strike from the ground up?
Lightning can appear to strike from the ground up due to a phenomenon called a "positive lightning strike." This occurs when a positive charge builds up on the ground, attracting the negatively charged lightning bolt. The bolt then appears to travel upward from the ground to the cloud.
