Is argon created by lightning?
No, Argon is an inert gas......
Is lightning an example of heat energy?
No. Lighting is not the source, lightning is multiple types of energy. At first lightning is electric but when it strikes the energy converts its self into light and heat in which the lightning becomes visible. There is a law of energy stating that: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. Some various forms of energy might be chemical, nuclear, electrical, mechanical, heat, and waves/radiation (light). Lightning does not create energy, it simply transforms its type of energy and transfers it to another object, whether that object be air, a cloud, ground etc.
What is a loud noise created when lightning rapidly hits the atmosphere?
The loud noise is called 'thunder' or 'a thunder clap'. The sudden increase in pressure and temperature from lightning produces rapid expansion of the air surrounding and within a bolt of lightning. In turn, this expansion of air creates a sonic shock wave which produces the sound of thunder.
What form of energy is lightning?
Lightning is electrical energy. In the process of discharging that energy, (the lightning strike) it converts into mechanical energy (sound), heat energy, electro-mechanical energy (as herd as static on an AM radio), light energy. Energy cannot be created, or destroyed only converted.Harvesting the power of lightning has proved to be very difficult, and no one has successfully found a way. A lightning strike happens very quickly, so extremely high electrical power is involved. It is difficult to convert high voltage power to the lower-voltage electricity that can be stored. Theoretically, yes, the energy from a lightning bolt be caught and stored. Practically, no, you would never be able to build a big enough capacitor to hold the charge. There is just too much energy in a lightning bolt to harness with today's technology. although there are those that believe this fulminology machine actually exists and at this moment in time is being withheld due the enormity of its consequences?its plasma
Was electricity created by people?
Well before humans, mammals, or even any life at all existed on earth, electricity has been around in the form of lightning. What humans were the first to do is harness it.
What Happens When There's No Lightning?
Without Lightining, There'll be no Electricity or Energy. You can't really have thunder without lightning! Lightning is a flash of natural electricity. Thunder is the noise created by this phenomenon, so if there is no lightning, there is no thunder. I hope this answers your question! --A WikiAnswers user
