How often does cloud-to-ground lightning strike?
less than 10% of all lightning
How often does lightning occur?
lightning occurs quite often in florida. it occurs at least 5 times a month.
The electrical discharge in lightning often occurs between cloud and ground?
The most common lightening occurs completely inside the cloud, called intra-cloud.
Where in the world does lightning occur most often?
the most frequent lighning storms occur in catatumbo in venezuela
Why does lightning occur only when it's raining?
Lightning comes when two weather "fronts" come together and moisture particles collide. Rain = moisture in one of those fronts, hence, lightning and rain are often together. Lightning does occur even when it is not raining. ==Answered By: whatrukidding==
How often do planes get struck by lightning?
Quite frequently, especially cloud to cloud lightning. This was rarely a problem with metal planes, but with modern composites which don't conduct electricity well, severe damage has been known to occur.

What The electrical discharge in lightning often occurs between cloud and ground?
True for A+

When is thunder and lightning most likely to occur?
Lightning can occur anywhere that conditions are right for it, and it can be created artificially with a Tesla Coil, but some locations are more likely than others. Tampa, FL has more lightning strikes than anyplace in the world, and Tampa is the native word for "sticks of fire." The expression "a bolt from the blue" is a metaphor for a lightning strike on a cloudless day. In addition, there are flash lightning and cloud-to-cloud lightning, and perhaps other kinds of lightning.
What do each color of lightning represent?
Typically, blue lightning within a cloud indicates the presence of hail. Red lightning within a cloud indicates the presence of rain. Yellow or orange lightning occurs when there is a large concentration of dust in the air. White lightning is a sign of low humidity or a little amount of moisture in the air. White is the color of lightning that most often ignites forest fires.

Why do hail storms and lightning go together?
Hail storms and lightning often occur together because both phenomena are associated with severe thunderstorms. Hail forms when there are strong updrafts in a storm cloud that carry raindrops upward to freeze into ice pellets, and lightning is a result of the buildup and discharge of electrical energy within the storm cloud. Therefore, these two phenomena usually occur in the same weather conditions, creating a correlation between hail storms and lightning.
What is lightning weather?
Lightning can occur in any kind of weather, but most often occurs when cold and hot air collide, during hot and humid weather.
