The static electricity isn't. But the little spark you see when an
object charged with static electricity touches something else is.

How do you get the lightning bolt?
One Word Friction , Were Hot hair And Cold Air interact and then Make friction ( lightning bolt is Really static)
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.
Why is a bolt of lightning like the spark you see when you touch a metal object?
Both are static electricity.
What kind of bolts can a buildup of static electricity cause?
Lightning bolts for one. Static electricity builds up, and when sufficient voltage is achieved, the bolt forms.
Does electricity travel outside electric powerlines?
Sure. Lightning is a bolt of electricity, and when you create a spark with a piece of flint you are creating electricity. Static electricity is another example.
How do you attract a lightning bolt?
hold a big metal ball and have some eletricity around you...
What is the fist stage of a lightning bolt?
Static Electricity
What is the only difference between a bolt of lightning and the spark that is seen between a person's hair and a hard rubber comb used in the hair on a dry day?
The difference between lightning and static is lightning is formed by giant clouds rubbed against each other and static is something such as flanel p.j.s rubbing together. Lightning is big, and static is small.

Is it true some naturally occurring small dust particles spark and discharge when in contact with static electricity or lightning and are these sparks natural mineral or chemical dusts?
Natural mineral dusts are chemical dusts. They are, after all, composed of chemical compounds. Dust might hold small static charges, but generally it will not if there is any humidity in the air. The humidity will serve to bleed off the charge. Dust in dry air can hold a small amount of static charge, but we generally won't see arcs between dust particles if they collect static charges. They're usually too small, and the small charges they would hold would probably be insufficient to cause a visible arc. Dust that is around a bolt of lightning would be ionized owing to the heat of the bolt. The dust particle probably isn't arcing then, either. And if it was, the flash of the ligntning bolt would not allow you to see it.
How small does a lightning bolt have to be for it not to kill you?
It isn't the size that matters, but the voltage.
Who is the lightning bolt in the olympics?
"Lightning Bolt" is the nickname for Usain Bolt
Can a lightning bolt provide electricity?
Yes, a lightning bolt can provide electricity because a lightning bolt is electricity.
How does static electricity build up in clouds?
Lightning
