What is The percentage of lightning bolts that hit the ground?
79.25..discovery channel said that 35 million out of every 44 million hit ground so that's what it works out to be.
Occurs when excess electrons flow between a cloud and the ground?
lightning
How does lightning strike from the ground up?
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.
What The electrical discharge in lightning often occurs between cloud and ground?
Yes, lightning is a natural electrical discharge that occurs within clouds or between clouds and the ground. This happens when the buildup of electrical charges within a cloud or between a cloud and the ground becomes too large and is discharged through a lightning bolt.
Can snow thunder toutch the ground?
If you're asking if lightning can reach the ground, even that which occurs during heavy "thundersnow", the answer is yes - it is lightning just like any other.
Does heat lightning touch the ground during a storm?
Heat lightning does not touch the ground during a storm. It is a type of lightning that occurs high in the sky and is often seen in the distance, appearing as a flickering glow without thunder.
Does lightning occurs when the positive charge on a storm cloud causes charging by induction on the ground or another cloud?
Lightning occurs when the buildup of negative charge in a storm cloud causes the air to become electrically conductive. This can then lead to a discharge of energy in the form of a lightning bolt, either within the cloud (intracloud) or between the cloud and the ground (cloud-to-ground).
Can lightning strike from the ground up?
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.
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.
What is the electrical discharge between a cloud and the ground?
The electrical discharge between a cloud and the ground is known as lightning. It occurs when there is a difference in electrical charge between the cloud and the ground, and is typically accompanied by a bright flash and thunder. Lightning is a powerful natural phenomenon that can be dangerous and destructive.
You were told from a earth science teacher that lightning starts from the ground is this true?
There are many types of lightning STREAMERS that start a lightning strike. There are 3 basic places where streamers will originate from. They can come from a cloud to the ground or the ground to a cloud or from cloud to cloud. So your teacher was correct. But not always from the ground.
What is dry lightnig?
Lightning usually occurs when is rains, sleets, hails etc, most comonly when there is a thunder storm. Dry lightning simply means that there is not rain present when the lightning occurs. Hope that helps
