What you see as lightning is air that has been superheated until it glows by an electric charge travelling through it. In a vacuum there is no air, thus no visual.

Can Friction occur in a vacuum?

Yes, in general friction can occur in a vacuum, but the only kind of friction that doesn't occur in a vacuum is, of course, air friction. There is no drag force on an object falling in a vacuum.


In a vacuum there is no matter. do you think conduction can take place in vacuum?

Conduction cannot occur within a vacuum because it requires a substrate (i.e. matter) for energy to be transferred.


Can lightning stop a tornado?

No, lightning cannot stop a tornado. Lightning and tornadoes are independent weather phenomena. Lightning can occur during thunderstorms, which are often associated with tornadoes, but it does not have the ability to influence or stop a tornado.


Where do lightning bolts occur?

lightning bolts occur in the clouds.

What energy transfers occur in a vacuum?

Radiation is the primary method of energy transfer that can occur in a vacuum. This includes the transfer of thermal energy (heat) through electromagnetic waves like infrared radiation. Conduction and convection, which depend on the presence of a medium to transfer energy, cannot occur in a vacuum.


Why conduction can't occur in a vacuum?

Conduction requires the presence of a medium such as solid, liquid, or gas for heat transfer to occur. In a vacuum, there are no particles to transfer heat energy through collisions, so conduction cannot take place. Heat can only be transferred in a vacuum through radiation.


What two types of heat transfer can't occur in a vacuum or in space?

Conduction and convection cannot occur in a vacuum or in space because they both require a medium, such as a solid, liquid, or gas, for heat transfer to take place. In a vacuum or in space, heat can only be transferred through radiation, which does not require a medium.


Does lightning occur on Venus?

no


Does lightning occur in the same or different place?

Lightning does occur in different places, but many more times then 2!


Why would you have to watch out if the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder seem occur together?

If thunder and lightning occur together close to you, you are dangerously close to a lightning bolt.
