How do you remove the static charge?
Static charges can be removed by earthing. Since only negative charges can flow the earth takes in infinite number of electrons. This same principal is applied to a lightening conductor since lighting is nothing but the flow of electrons formed due to friction of two clouds.
How does static electricity build up in clouds?
Lightning
Can static be a harm?
If the static charge has enough potential stored, there may be a risk of harm. Most commen occurances of static electricity being discharged is barley enough to sting the average human, leaving no permanent harm. Severe collections of static electricity, such as found in storm clouds, can discharge enough power to form lightening.
What kind of energy produces lighting bolts?
a buildup of static electricity in clouds creates lightening bolts, so electrical energy.
How you lightning is a form of static electricity?
Lightening is just a discharge taking place between charged clouds or in between a charged cloud and any charged region of the earth
Why is lightning a part of science?
Lightning is created when friction is created between clouds, clouds which are formed by the evaporation of water. Lighting is the light which is given when the static electricity is released.
What forms the brilliant flash of lightning bolt?
Static electricity is first created in the clouds then with enough charge the electricity grounds itself to the earth and what you see is the flow of static electricity shifting from the clouds to the ground

What carrys the most static electricity?
Clouds carry a massive amount of static which is discharged as lightning.
Is the pressure of the clouds being compressed and heated which cause the lightning?
No. It is the buildup of static electricity in the clouds, caused by the motion of the air within the clouds.
Can electricity be generated without using man-made materials?
yes electricity collects in clouds to form lightning and in living organisims such as the electric eel. Also static electricity can be generated using friction (in hair for example).
When was Out of the Clouds created?
Out of the Clouds was created in 1955.
How do clouds carry electric charges?
Charge is origimated in clouds due to friction from other clouds but there is no specific mechanism to carry it, they just bear it.
What causes lightling and thunder?
static electricity generated in cumulonimbus clouds
Who was first to observe static charge in clouds and how was it proved?
benjamin franklin
When was Clouds Rolling By created?
Clouds Rolling By was created in 2000.
When was Codes in the Clouds created?
Codes in the Clouds was created in 2007.
