What else can I help you with?
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 a colonial printer?
a colonial printer is a printer that printed pieces of information as a business. i know this because when i was in fifth grade i personally studied the colonial printer.
How is lightning is foarmed?
When positive charges go to negative charges in a cloud
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.
How does lightning form and strike the ground?
Lightning forms when positive and negative charges in a cloud separate and create an electric field. When the electric field becomes strong enough, it causes a sudden discharge of electricity in the form of lightning. Lightning strikes the ground when the negative charges in the cloud are attracted to the positive charges on the ground, creating a path for the lightning bolt to travel.
Is lightning caused by electric charges in clouds?
Yes. Although the development of these charges is still mostly understood, the buildup of opposite charges in the clouds can create a discharge (lightning) between the cloud and the ground, or the cloud and another cloud. Sometimes the distribution of charges can be seen in a dendritic (forked) pattern of lightning bolts. (see related link)
What occurs when positive and negative electrical charges build up in the cloud?
Lightning
What kind of energy does clouds that produce lightning have?
Clouds that produce lightning have electrical energy. This energy is generated by the separation of positive and negative charges within a cloud, which results in the discharge of lightning as a way to balance these charges.
Why is there so much lightning during thunderstorms?
Lightning occurs during thunderstorms because of the buildup of electrical charges in the atmosphere. When these charges become strong enough, they are released as a bolt of lightning, which heats the air and creates the sound we hear as thunder.
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.
Lightning forms when negative charges drop to the lower parts of a cloud and positive charges build up on the ground below?
Correct! This charge separation creates an electric field that eventually leads to a discharge of electricity in the form of lightning, as the negative charges from the cloud and positive charges from the ground balance out.
How is lightning created involving protons?
Lightning is created when positive charges (protons) in the clouds interact with negative charges on the ground, creating an electric field. When the electric field becomes strong enough, it causes a rapid discharge of electricity in the form of lightning. This discharge equalizes the charges between the clouds and the ground.
