Is cloud to ground lightning the deadliest kind of lightning?
I'm pretty sure that's the only kind of lightning.
Does lighting hit something everytime it strikes?
Lightning does not hit something every time it strikes. There are various forms of lightning. Lightning that is classified as "cloud to ground" lightning will strike something in it's path. Another form of lightning is sheet lightning. This type of lighting illuminates the sky and spreads from cloud to cloud.
What cloud is lightning formed in?
Lightning typically forms in cumulonimbus clouds, also known as thunderclouds. These clouds are characterized by their towering height and are associated with intense thunderstorms that can produce lightning bolts.
Lightning forms when?
Lightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground.
What is cloud to cloud lightning called?
Cloud-to-cloud lightning is commonly referred to as intracloud lightning because it occurs entirely within the same cloud without reaching the ground.
How does lightning form from the ground up?
Lightning forms when positive and negative charges build up in a cloud. The negative charges at the bottom of the cloud attract positive charges on the ground, creating a path for lightning to strike from the ground up.
What is it when lightning strikes within one cloud?
It's called in-cloud or cloud-to-cloud lightning.
What kind of cloud produces lighting?
Cumulonimbus clouds are clouds that produce lightning.
What is a sudden energy discharge between parts of a cloud is called?
A sudden energy discharge between parts of a cloud is called lightning. Lightning is a natural electrical discharge produced in thunderstorms, typically accompanied by thunder, and can take on different forms such as cloud-to-ground or intracloud lightning.
When lightning strikes within one cloud it is called lightning?
It's called in-cloud or cloud-to-cloud lightning.
When lightning strikes within one cloud it is called .?
It's called in-cloud or cloud-to-cloud lightning.
Lightning forms when charges drop to the lower parts of a cloud and charges build up on the ground below?
When clouds become charged due to the separation of positive and negative charges, lightning can occur when the electrical imbalance is released as a bolt of electricity. This discharge can happen within a cloud, between clouds, or from a cloud to the ground.
