Is thunder visible?
Thunder isn't visible. It is the sound produced by lighting. Lighting is visible either as a bolt or a flash of light.
What is a visible electrical discharge from a storm cloud?
It is called lightning.
What Visible electrical discharge from a storm cloud is called .?
It is called lightning.
What is a thunder lightning outcome?
A thunder lightning outcome refers to the simultaneous occurrence of thunder and lightning during a thunderstorm. The thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of heated air surrounding a lightning bolt, while the lightning is the visible discharge of electricity between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. A thunder lightning outcome is a common occurrence during thunderstorms.
What is the visible discharge of electricity called?

What is the visible discharge of electricity?
It's called LIGHTNING.
What energy is stored in electromagnetic energy?
Electromagnetic energy comes in a wide range of frequencies, from radio waves up to gamma rays. The infra-red, visible, and ultra-violet waves are produced by very hot bodies, like the sun. Radio and microwaves use electrical energy to produce them. X-rays are produced in high voltage discharge tubes. Gamma rays are only produced by reactions within the nucleus.
What is the difference between an electrical insulator and an electric discharge?
An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely, and therefore make it nearly impossible to conduct an electric current under the influence of an electric field. This contrasts with other materials, semiconductors and conductors, which conduct electric current more easily.Electric discharge in gases occurs when electric current flows through a gaseous medium due to ionisation of the gas. Depending on several factors, the discharge may radiate visible light.
Ano ang sinasabi ng science tungkol sa kulog at kidlat?
Ang kulog at kidlat ay sanhi ng electrical discharge sa atmospera. Ang kulog ay tunog na nanggagaling sa pag-init at expansion ng hangin dahil sa electrical discharge, habang ang kidlat ay visible na flash ng light mula sa discharge. Ito ay natural na phenomenon na nagaganap sa panahon ng thunderstorms.
What is a streak of light in the atmosphere?
I believe you are referring to lighting, the visible discharge to do potential difference.
Does lightning come from the clouds?
The source of lightning in thunderhead clouds is when there is a significant amount of ice in the cloud, most likely hail and there are 2 differing charges in 2 areas. The negative charge is at the bottom of the cloud, while the positive charge is at the top of the cloud. The ground is positively charge until there is an electrical discharge between the negatively charged cloud base and the positively charged ground, then it becomes mostly negative which then can open up the opportunity for a lightning bolt to jump from the top of the cloud, all the way down to the ground in another electrical discharge that is of greater electrical potential (voltage) than the first electrical discharge between the cloud base and the ground. This is because it takes more voltage to have a visible electrical discharge over a longer distance. There has to be 30,000 volts/cm of distance for a visible electrical discharge to occur.
Is thunder the sound lightning bolts make?
No, lightning and thunder are related but at not the same thing. Lightning is the very large spark that jumps from cloud to cloud or from ground to cloud when a static charge builds up.When that spark jumps, it heats the air through which it moves. Thunder is the sound that results from that heating.No, lightning is a large electrical discharge produced by a thunderstorm. Lightning is usually visible as a flash of light from within the clouds or a jagged, often branching line of flashing line of light.Thunder is the loud rumbling, booming, or crashing sound made by lightning.
