What else can I help you with?
Does lightning go up or down in the atmosphere?
Lightning travels both up and down in the atmosphere. It starts with a downward leader from the cloud towards the ground, followed by an upward streamer from the ground to meet the downward leader, creating the visible lightning strike.
Can lightning strike upwards, defying the usual downward trajectory?
Yes, lightning can appear to strike upwards in certain situations, such as when it branches out from a tall object or when it is influenced by strong winds.
How does lightning strike from the ground up?
Lightning can appear to strike from the ground up due to a phenomenon called a "positive lightning strike." This occurs when a positive charge builds up on the ground, attracting the negatively charged lightning bolt. The bolt then appears to travel upward from the ground to the cloud.
Can lightning strike backwards?
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.
How does the phenomenon of lightning going up defy conventional expectations of its downward trajectory?
Lightning going up, known as upward lightning, defies conventional expectations because it occurs when a lightning bolt originates from the ground and travels upwards towards the sky, which is opposite to the usual downward trajectory of lightning bolts from the sky to the ground. This phenomenon challenges the typical understanding of how lightning behaves and highlights the complex and dynamic nature of atmospheric electricity.

When do rocks move past each other without upward or downward movement?
This is called a strike-slip fault.
How many feet prior to a lightning strike will a downward leader or step leader change direction?
200

Can lightning strike from the ground up?
Yes, lightning can strike from the ground up. This phenomenon, known as a "ground-to-cloud" lightning strike, occurs when an upward lightning discharge is triggered by a tall object such as a building or a lightning rod.
A movie is made showing successive frames for an object accelerating downward. If the sequence is run backward would the object accelerate upward or downward?

What is the opposite of downward?
Upward.
What is Upward and Downward Bias?
The upward and the downward bias refers to the overestimation or overstatement by a statistical measure of a given event.
How does the fore of gravity move things is it upward or downward?
downward
