It is known as Ball lightning.
Lightning does not have cells, does not have a metabolism, does not reproduce, does not maintain homeostasis, and does not respond to stimuli.
Lightning conductors are not put up to get hit by lightning as such. They can and do get hit by lightning but the expression "conductor" is a misnomer. They act as a discharge to ground to prevent the buildup of static charge in an approximate "sphere" from the tip of the rod to the surrounding ground. Any lightning strike will tend to go across the surface of this sphere and provide protection for the people under the sphere. Thus standing near the tall building usually gives complete protection. The taller the building the better and wider is the protection
The sphere of earth which contains gases is called the Atmosphere.
The Earth's outermost sphere is the Lithosphere. It's the rigid outermost shell of the Earth.
this is called the mantel or POP.
A+ Ball Lightening.
"ball lightning"
The sphere of electricity, and the sphere of trees.
Lightning does not have cells, does not have a metabolism, does not reproduce, does not maintain homeostasis, and does not respond to stimuli.
a sphere is called a sphere because , well , its just a other name for a ball such as the earth.
There's a special effect in a hollow sphere of metal, called a 'Faraday Sphere', where there isn't any electricity in a sphere. Faraday, the guy who came up with rules on the electricity that we now use today, first found out that a hollow sphere has no electricity in it. So in a storm you should be safe in a closed car as long as it is spherical...

A sphere appears the same from any direction.
I lightning rod varies in size. Most are found on top of building in areas that are known to have lightning activity. They are shaped like antennas and sometime have a sphere at the top of the bar.
Half of a sphere is called a hemisphere. It consists of a flat surface cutting through the sphere, dividing it into two equal parts.
A 2D sphere is a circle.
The word for half a sphere is a hemisphere.
