Does lightning strike from the sky or ground?
Actually it does BUT it also comes down from the clouds. Now A positive charge is sent up when the negative charge is sent down. They meet but we only see the one sent up because it is slower.

Is lightning positive or negative?
the charge of a lightning is positive and negative. The positive is on the top of a lightning cloud and the negative is surrounded on the bottom. As it flashes down it is a negative. However, the ground is a positive charge so as it reaches down, it turns into a positive charge. I hope this will answer you question
Is it possible for sheet lightning to strike a person?
No, it is not possible for sheet lightning to strike a person. Sheet lightning refers to the illumination of a widespread area of the sky due to a distant thunderstorm. It does not actually involve a physical discharge of lightning that can strike objects or people.
Is sheet lightning and heat lightning the same thing?
Sheet lightning and Heat lightning are very similar, if not the same. They form the same way, but might strike different. For instance, sheet lightning looks more like a sheet in the sky, (strange eh? :D) and doesn't normally strike down into the ground, and when you have heat lightning, you see differently. But mostly, they form the same way. =D good luck!
