Electrical current and ions can cause certain molecules (and moisture) to adhere to soil. Large amounts of current, such as a lightning strike, can fuse particles of soil into a crystalline structure, somewhat like glass.
Yes, soil can conduct electricity to some extent due to the presence of dissolved minerals and moisture. The conductivity of soil depends on factors like composition, moisture content, and temperature. Wet soil conducts electricity better than dry soil.
Soil itself is not used to generate electricity. However, certain microbes found in soil can be used in microbial fuel cells to produce small amounts of electricity through a process called bioremediation. This technique is being studied as a potential renewable energy source.
Silty soil with good moisture content tends to be the most conductive due to its high water content and fine particles. The presence of water and dissolved ions in the soil allows it to conduct electricity more effectively.
Damp soil helps excess electrons move because water acts as a conductor for electricity. The moisture in the soil allows for the flow of electrons, improving conductivity and facilitating the movement of excess electrons to the ground, where they can be dissipated safely.
Water absorbs and conducts radiation better. ex. electricity is a form of radiation this is false because water will take longer to absorb heat than soil but when the source of heat is gone the water will insulate more heat than the soil, therefore the water will keep heat longer than soil but the soil will heat up faster.
Yes, soil can conduct electricity to some extent due to the presence of dissolved minerals and moisture. The conductivity of soil depends on factors like composition, moisture content, and temperature. Wet soil conducts electricity better than dry soil.
Absolutely no type of soil is a good conductor of electricity. This is because soil contains silicate minerals and silicate minerals do not conduct very well.

Yes, compost soil can conduct electricity. The condition of electricity draws upon ions and nutrients. Dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter such as compost and humus have both.
That depends on your soil and your definition of "good". Dry soil is probably a very poor conductor. Wet soil can be a pretty good conductor if you have large contact surface areas and dissolved salts in the water.
Electricity holds the most heats
Yes. There are traces of oxygen in the soil of the Moon, which could be "harvested" using heat and electricity

Thick mud is not a good conductor of electricity because it contains a high amount of soil, which is a poor conductor. The moisture in mud also reduces its conductivity compared to pure water. Overall, the combination of soil and water in thick mud significantly hinders the flow of electricity through it.
If by 'earth' you mean dirt, then not in general, but it can vary. For example, if you have a good soil mix, you probably won't find a great deal of conductance, but in an iron-rich soil you may get noticeable conductivity. But in answer to your question, generally no.
