No, lightning strikes from the sky down.
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.
Lightning typically strikes from the sky down to the ground.
No, lightning does not always strike the ground. Lightning can also strike other objects such as trees, buildings, or even other clouds.
No, lightning does not strike upwards. Lightning typically strikes downwards from the clouds to the ground.
Lightning forms when positive and negative charges build up in a cloud. The negative charges at the bottom of the cloud attract positive charges on the ground, creating a path for lightning to 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.

Static discharge is causes the spark that is seen when electricity in a thunderhead discharges. The most common name for this type of spark or discharge is lightening.
Lightning strikes downward from the clouds to the ground.
because (fork lightning in particular) lightning starts on the ground!
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.
i guess it all depends on were it is directly at and lighting can go until it hits the ground
A positive lightning strike carries a higher voltage and occurs less frequently than a negative lightning strike. Positive lightning strikes are also known to travel longer distances and have the potential to cause more damage compared to negative lightning strikes.
