Why does the lighting seem to be in the sky?

Answer 1

because millie saud it

Answer 2

Stars, and the sun, which is just another star, glow because at their core the pressure is so great that hydrogen fuses to create helium. This releases a great amount of energy which, when it works its way to the surface of the star, is in the from of heat, light, and other types of radiation.

As stars grow older, other forms of fusion begin to provide energy and other elements are created. But all of this releases energy which results in great amounts of heat and other forms of radiation.

Answer 3

Lightning can happen day or night. When it does, negative charges in the clouds go down to the ground until they meet a positive charge like on a tree or tall building in a cloud to ground flash. In a ground to cloud flash, a negative charge on the ground goes up 'till it meets a positive charge in the clouds. There is also cloud to cloud and in cloud lightning.

Answer 4

Stars shine because they are great hot balls of plasma. The fact that they're hot causes them to give off light. The heat itself comes from fusion reactions. though there's a small minority who thinks there might be other mechanisms.

Answer 5

They don't. The sun is so strong during the day that the light from the stars is 'drowned' out by the sunlight. Once in a while you can see the moon and even less often a strong star during the day. When the earth rotates so that the area you are on is facing away from the sun, the stars are now the brightest thing besides the small moon we have. As the earth rotates more so the sun is shining on you, the same stars are there, they just are very hard to see.

If we lived on a planet nearer to the center of our galaxy it's likely the starlight would be so strong you couldn't tell if the sun was up or not - everlasting light :( no break, no shade, only bright light, no night.

Answer 6

Stars are always shining not just at night. We do not see them during the day due to the brightness of the closest star (our Sun) and the diffusion of that star's light in our atmosphere.

Stars shine due to thermonuclear reactions taking place inside them. The most important of these is the fusion of Hydrogen atoms into Helium.

Because they are giant balls of gas where fusion is taking place heating their cores to several million degrees and the reason we don't see them during the day is that we are facing a star that is close by, the Sun.

Answer 7

they shine cos they are little balls of fire much like the sun but alot smaller

Answer 8

Stars are balls of flaming gas - the sun is a star.

Answer 9

because we are facing away from the sun because half the world is out of the suns light so it gets dark

Answer 10

a star shines because the star initiates (fuses) hydrogen. it creates an enormous radioactive energy wave causing the star to shine
