Who makes lightning?
Lightning is generated by the build-up of electrical charges in clouds. When the difference in charge between the clouds and the ground or between different parts of the same cloud becomes too great, a sudden discharge of electricity occurs as lightning.
What type of force makes lightning and thunder?
Lightning is caused by the buildup of negative and positive charges in clouds, resulting in an electrical discharge between them. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air due to the intense heat generated by a lightning bolt.
Who made lightning?
Lightning is a natural atmospheric phenomenon created by the discharge of electricity between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. It is not created by any specific entity but rather by the buildup and release of electrical charges in the atmosphere.
What makes thunder ad lightning?
Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt due to extreme heat. Lightning occurs when electrical charges build up in clouds and between clouds and the ground, creating a discharge of energy in the form of an electric spark.
How is thunder and lighting form?
when electrical charges form in the clouds, a spark of energy is formed that makes a flash of lightning which is also known as electricity. tunder is the sound of the lightning building up the, like a knife through flesh, it tears through the cloud. hope i helped thx 4 reading
What cause lightning during a thunderstorm?
Since lightning is an electrical current, normally in a thunderstorm, little pieces of ice way up in the cloud collide together fast and hard, making an electrical charge, which then eventually makes an electrical current that is known as lightning.
When does thunder and lightning happen?
Clouds can build up very high electrical charges. This can create a very high EMF (Electromotive Force, AKA Voltage) between clouds or from cloud to earth. When this force gets large enough, an electrical discharge current will arc from cloud to cloud or cloud to earth. This discharge arc makes itself known by the light it releases (which we call lightning) and the sound it creates (which we call thunder) as it heats the air along the discharge path.
Can electricity pass through the atmosphere of earth?
Yes, electricity can pass through the Earth's atmosphere, as lightning is a natural phenomenon that demonstrates this. Lightning occurs when electrical charges build up in clouds and then discharge through the atmosphere, creating a visible bolt of electricity between clouds or from clouds to the ground.
Does electricity make a lightning?
Do we harness electricity from lightning? No. It's a lot of electricity at one time, and it's too unpredictable to be cost effective to develop a means of harnessing it's power. Lightning rods simply transfer the electricity into the ground, so as to protect structures.
How are thunder and lightning different and where do they come from?
Thunder is the sound of lightning. It makes the BOOM sound. Lightning is the yellow squiggly line you see from the clouds. I don't really know how lightning became to be or where it actually comes from but somewhere inside the clouds i guess.
What causes a lightning strike?
Buildup of charge in a cloud
Is it true that lightning can happen because of the release of static electricity?
Yes because they are both the same electron until its starts lightning they both become negative and attract! Opposites attract smarty.. they are different groups of protons and electrons. Earth being positive repels the positive charges in the cloud which makes the lower part of the cloud increasingly negative. this difference in charges causes lightning which is a transfer of charges to try and equal out the conflicting balance of positive and negative charges.
