The static electricity isn't. But the little spark you see when an

object charged with static electricity touches something else is.

What is the fist stage of a lightning bolt?

Static Electricity


Is lightning is an example of static electricity true or 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.


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.


Why is a bolt of lightning like the spark you see when you touch a metal object?

Both are static electricity.


What natural phenomenon is a result of static electricity in the air?

Lightning is a natural phenomenon that is a result of static electricity in the air. The buildup of static charge within clouds causes a discharge of electricity in the form of a lightning bolt, resulting in a visible flash of light and sound.


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.

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.
