What else can I help you with?
Does lightning travel from the ground up?
Yes, lightning typically travels from the ground up.
Does lightning come up from the ground during a thunderstorm?
No, lightning does not come up from the ground during a thunderstorm. Lightning typically originates from the clouds and strikes downward towards the ground.
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.
Does lightning strike from the ground up or from the sky down?
Lightning typically strikes from the sky down to the ground.
Does lightning strike from the ground up?
No, lightning strikes from the sky down.

Lightning typically strikes from the sky down to the ground.
Does lightning strike from the ground up?
No, lightning strikes from the sky down.
Does lightning go up in the atmosphere?
No, lightning travels downward from the clouds to the ground.
How does lightning form and strike the ground?
Lightning forms when positive and negative charges in a cloud separate and create an electric field. When the electric field becomes strong enough, it causes a sudden discharge of electricity in the form of lightning. Lightning strikes the ground when the negative charges in the cloud are attracted to the positive charges on the ground, creating a path for the lightning bolt to travel.
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.
Does lightning go up?
Lightning can strike upwards, from the ground to the sky, and it can also strike downwards, from one cloud to another, or from one part of a cloud to another part. (see: http://www.answers.com/topic/lightning)
How do lightning strikes occur, starting from the ground up?
Lightning strikes occur when electrical charges build up in clouds and on the ground. When the difference in charges becomes strong enough, a channel of ionized air forms, creating a path for the electrical discharge to travel. The lightning bolt then strikes from the cloud to the ground or between clouds, releasing a powerful burst of energy in the form of light and heat.
Do ions form ozone when interacting with lightning?
Yes, they do. This is at the ground level.
Why do you have lightning?
Lightning is a sudden discharge of electrons from clouds to the ground. When storm clouds gather up lots of electrons, which are negative, the electrons are attracted to the ground's positive charge (opposites attract). The cloud's electrons build up so much that they leap to the ground in one stream, causing visible lightning.
