The 'arc' in arc welding is not an acronym but in turn is a reference to the electric arc that is being generated during the welding process.
That that would depend on what welder you are using. But most welders do have a arc that is brighter than the sun
An arc-second is equivalent to one sixtieth (1/60) of one arc-minute. An arc-minute is equivalent to one sixtieth (1/60) of one degree.
The sun, arc welding, "black lights" (looking fro fluorescence). [inside florescent lights - but its blocked by the surface of the bulbs.)
a rainbow is not shaped like a arc its a circle
I can resolve 100 arc seconds. If craters are 60 arc seconds I'd bet that there are people whose eyes are good enough. 60 arc seconds is certainly within the 20 arc second maximum capability of the eye.
If you are asking for the correct nomenclature it is Shielded Metal Arc Welding.

submerged arc welding (SAW)
Yes, arc welding does create ozone. It is because the temperatures created during arc welding convert the nearby oxygen to ozone.
Almost all welding today is done with electricity (Arc Welding) even on cast iron. SMAW, GTAW, GMAW etc. --AW means Arc Welding.
ARC welding uses large amounts of electricity to melt the metal, not a hot flame. So no, LPG cannot be used for ARC welding.

Plasma welding is another name for arc welding. It is a process in which electricity super heats air to form a plasma arc. This arc transmits an electrical current to a metal surface and creates heat to melt the metal together thus creating a weld joint.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding, known colloquially as "stick".
Arc welding uses an electrical current to create enough heat to melt metal. Any type of welding that uses an electric arc is technically arc welding. However, most people use the term 'arc welding' to mean shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), or 'stick welding'. SMAW, MIG, and flux core wire welding use the filler metal as both electrode and filler; TIG welding uses an electric arc to heat the base metal and a separate filler rod to add metal to the weld.
Actually I usually crowd the puddle when welding vertical up. The longer the arc length the more the arc can wander.
