It's called in-cloud or cloud-to-cloud lightning.
What A type of lightning that appears as a single long line is called?
A type of lightning that appears as a single long line is called a "fork lightning" or "bolt from the blue." It often occurs when lightning strikes horizontally within a cloud or between clouds rather than toward the ground.
What is it called when lighting strikes within one cloud?
When lightning strikes within one cloud, it is called intra-cloud lightning. This type of lightning occurs when the electric charge within a cloud becomes unbalanced and discharges within the same cloud, rather than traveling to the ground or to another cloud.
Why many lightning strikes occur within a cloud rather than between clouds and the ground.?
Many lightning strikes occur within a cloud due to the presence of strong electric fields created by the separation of positive and negative charges within the cloud. This charge separation leads to the buildup of energy that discharges as lightning when the potential difference becomes large enough. The dense concentration of water droplets and ice particles in clouds facilitates this process, allowing for frequent intra-cloud discharges compared to the less common inter-cloud or cloud-to-ground strikes. Additionally, the short distances involved within the cloud make it easier for the discharge to occur.
What is the function of a lighting rod?
Knowing that lightning will strike sooner or later, and that when it does, it will take the path of least resistance between a thundercloud and the ground, the purpose of a lightning rod is to make sure that when lightning does happen, it strikes where you want it to, and takes the path to the ground that you want it to, rather than taking the path through somebody's house, tree, or body.
When will the war between India and Pakistan began?
The next war between India and Pakistan is due within 2 months, but this war would not be a full scale war rather a limited AIR STRIKES type of war
When lightning appears as small bursts in a dotted line?
When lightning appears as small bursts in a dotted line, it is often referred to as "sheet lightning." This phenomenon occurs when the lightning strikes within a cloud or between clouds, illuminating the surrounding area rather than creating a direct strike to the ground. The dotted appearance can result from multiple, rapid discharges happening in quick succession, creating a flickering effect. This type of lightning is typically less dangerous than cloud-to-ground strikes but can still indicate severe weather conditions.
What does overcast mean with regard to the weather?
A lot of gray clouds. Dull and gloomy. No direct sunshine. It looks as if it is going to rain. It just might! --- The term "overcast" means complete or virtually complete coverage of the sky by relatively low clouds. More specifically, it can refer to gray clouds rather than white or dark.
What can you conclude has happened if a tsunami strikes a shore?
when you hear vibrations from the earth. or rather the earth is shaking
What two clouds are in a tornado?
In a tornado, cumulonimbus clouds are most commonly associated with severe weather and thunderstorms. However, it's the rotating updraft within the storm that causes the formation of a tornado, rather than specific types of clouds.
Are ash clouds emitted from sills?
No, ash clouds are typically emitted from volcanic eruptions rather than sills. Sills are horizontal intrusions of magma that solidify underground and do not typically result in the release of ash clouds.
Why use 12volt lighting rather than 240 volt?
Because 240 volts is dangerous
