What else can I help you with?
How often in a year does daylight saving time occur?
TWICE!!
Is there lightning above clouds?
Yes, lightning can occur above clouds. A type of lightning called "cloud-to-cloud" or "anvil crawler" lightning can be seen branching out above storm clouds. This is typically caused by the electrical discharge between different regions within the cloud or between different clouds.
Why does lightning appear above active volcanos?
Lightning can occur during eruptions because of the intense heat and friction created by volcanic ash particles colliding in the plume. This can generate static electricity, leading to lightning strikes. Additionally, the presence of ice crystals in the ash cloud can also contribute to the formation of lightning.
What time of the year is a tornado most likely to form?
Tornadoes can occur at any time of year, but are most common in spring and early summer. The general peak of tornado activity will vary by region.
If the earth's surface was an insulator and not a conductor would lightning be able to strike earth's surface?
No, if the Earth's surface were an insulator, lightning would not be able to strike it because insulators do not conduct electricity. Lightning occurs when there is a difference in electrical charge between the clouds and the Earth's surface, and if the Earth were an insulator, it would not allow the flow of electricity necessary for lightning to occur.
What percent of a year does lightning occur?
20%
What season does lightning occur in?
it mostly occurs in the spring time
Where do lightning bolts occur?
lightning bolts occur in the clouds.
Is thunder the same as lightning?
Thunder and lightning occur roughly at the same time during a thunderstorm, but they are different things. Typically you see the lightning first and then you hear the thunder.
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 seemed to occur together?
If thunder and lightning occur together close to you, you are dangerously close to a lightning bolt.
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.
Is it possible for lightning to occur without making any sound?
Yes, it is possible for lightning to occur without making any sound. This type of lightning is known as "silent lightning" or "heat lightning," and it occurs when the lightning is too far away for the sound to be heard.
Does it thunder and lighting every time it rains?
No. It is very common for rain to occur without thunder or lightning.
What time does lightning strike the clock tower?
Lightning does not strike a clock tower at a specific time. Lightning strikes are unpredictable and can occur at any time during a thunderstorm. Lightning tends to strike tall structures, like clock towers, because they offer a direct path for the electrical discharge to reach the ground.
Is it true that lightning and thunder never occur simultaneously?
No, it's not true that lightning and thunder never occur simultaneously. Lightning is the flash of light produced by the discharge of electricity in the atmosphere, while thunder is the sound caused by the rapid expansion of air heated by that discharge. Since light travels faster than sound, we see the lightning before we hear the thunder, but they occur at the same time. The difference in their arrival times helps us estimate the distance of the lightning strike.
