Yes.
lightning ocuurs where there is apoint on straight flat land so it is a conductor of electricity I don't know what the first person was saying, but lightning occurs everywhere. In the sky due to a difference in electrical charge. Between the ground and the sky for the same reason. Some static electric jumps you can see lightning. A tesla tower can produce electricity. Between cells in the brain there are "lightning storms" that are jumping between the cells.
Almost any weather formation (hurricane, tornado, cloud) is capable of forming lightning due to the massive amounts of friction between the clouds in the sky. Lightning is sort of like an exponentially increased in size case of static electricity.
The word lightning derives from "lightening", something which sheds light. But its literal meaning is a visible discharge of static electricity in the sky.
The word you are looking for is "lightning." Lightning is a natural electrical discharge that occurs in the atmosphere, often during thunderstorms.
No It Comes From The Magnetic Field In The Atmoshere
Lightning can come from the ground as well as from the sky. It can occur when a discharge of electricity happens between a cloud and the ground, or between two clouds.
The Electricity we use is reliable, dependable, and safe. Lightning is only available during storms, goes from the ground to the sky, and is very intense in strength, and is very fast.
You can explain lightning to a child by saying that it's like a big spark of electricity in the sky. When clouds rub together, they create static electricity, which builds up until it releases as a bright flash of light and a loud sound called thunder. It's nature's way of balancing out the electrical charges in the atmosphere.
Lightning is the discharge of static electricity. Items on the ground, including the ground itself, has one charge while the clouds in the sky, even the sky itself has the opposite charge. When one has more charge than the other, it discharges causing lightning.
Lightning storm--or as some call it, "Zeus's Thunderbutt".
Lightning is caused by the buildup of electrical charges in the clouds. When these charges become too strong, they are released as a bolt of lightning. To explain this to kids, you can say that it's like when you rub a balloon on your hair and then it sticks to the wall because of the static electricity. Lightning is like a big spark in the sky when the clouds get too charged up. It's nature's way of balancing out the electrical energy in the atmosphere.
Lightning is a visible discharge of electricity, often seen during a thunderstorm. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. So, without thunder, lightning would still be the sudden and bright flash of electricity in the sky.
