When a positive and negative collide together, that's how lightning is formed
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.
No, lightning strikes from the sky down.
A typical lightning strike can release up to one billion watts of power.
A lightning strike can produce sound levels of up to 120 decibels.
yes
Before a lightning strike, a charge builds up along the water's surface. When lightning strikes, most of electrical charge occurs near the water's surface. Most fish swim below the surface and are unaffected.
Yes, lightning can strike from the ground up. This phenomenon, known as a "ground-to-cloud" lightning strike, occurs when an upward lightning discharge is triggered by a tall object such as a building or a lightning rod.
Lightning can strike up to 30 miles from a thunderstorm, though such instances are rare.
Lightning can strike up to 30 miles from the parent storm cell, though such cases are rare.
The temperature of a lightning strike can reach up to 30,000 degrees Celsius (54,000 degrees Fahrenheit), which is hotter than the surface of the sun.
Lightning typically strikes from the sky down to the ground.
The lightning strike can get up to 30,000 Celsius which is 6 times hotter than the surface of the sun.
