Lightning can come from the ground as well as from the sky. It can occur when a discharge of electricity happens between a cloud and the ground, or between two clouds.
Lightning does not strike backwards, from the ground to the sky. It only moves in one direction, from the sky to the ground.By striking backwards, do you mean can the Earth give off a lightning bolt to the clouds? No.
Double ZapperYes. In fact, visible lightning usually comes up from the ground into the cloud! The lightning bolt is actually retracing a path of weak electricity that the cloud sent down as a sort of "feeler" sensing for the shortest path to take to the ground. So if you're in an open space during a lightning storm, and you feel your hair stand up from static electricity, you might want to run for cover!
Sheet lightning is when a lightning bolt is obscured by clouds and only illuminates the cloud layer, creating a diffuse light. A lightning bolt is the visible discharge of electricity between clouds or between a cloud and the ground, typically following a distinct path.
Sheet lightning, or more accurately intracloud lightning is the same as lightning that hits the ground, the only difference is that it is within the cloud. They are no different apart from that. They are the exact same thing, except one would take a different path. They are both dangerous.
If a glass ball on a lightning rod is struck by lightning, it may shatter due to the extreme heat generated by the lightning strike. Additionally, the lightning may travel through the rod to the ground, protecting the building from damage.
Yes, lightning can come from the ground because the electrons want to go to the holes in the sky. Most people think that lightning comes from the clouds, but it doesn't. There is no electricity in clouds, only moisture.
I'm pretty sure that's the only kind of lightning.
They have to be fastened to a metal stake that is driven deeply into the ground. Otherwise, they will only attract lightning rather than ground out the lightning.
lightning cnat happen IN the earth only outside it because it needs positive and negative charges from the sky and ground
Lightning only happens when a type of cloud gets too close to the ground. It zaps the tallest objects first.
The town of Lightning Ridge is above ground. Only the opal mine shafts go underground, and these vary in depth.

Nope - lightning can strike the same place multiple times if the object presents enough ionic attraction to ground the charge.
