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.
Lightning typically strikes from the sky down to the ground.
No, lightning strikes from the sky down.
Lightning typically travels from the sky to the ground. It is initiated by a downward-moving stepped leader from the cloud that is met by an upward-moving streamer from the ground, creating the visible lightning bolt.
No, lightning does not always strike the ground. Lightning can also strike other objects such as trees, buildings, or even other 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.

the sky is part of our atmosphere which is in earth so it comes from earth

No, lightning does not strike upwards. Lightning typically strikes downwards from the clouds to the ground.
Whenever Percy is high off the ground, Zeus (being god of the sky) can simply strike him with lightning.
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 strikes from the sky when a channel of charged ions reaches down from the sky to connect with a channel of the opposite charge that is reaching up. This causes a flash of light called a step leader when electricity travels between the charges.
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.
no.
