Lightning occurs most often in the tropical regions of the world, particularly near the equator. This is because these areas have the necessary conditions for thunderstorms to form, which are essential for lightning to occur. Regions like Central Africa, the Amazon Rainforest, and Southeast Asia experience some of the highest frequency of lightning strikes.
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==
Yes, it is possible for lightning to occur without making any sound. This type of lightning is known as "silent lightning" or "heat lightning," and it occurs when the lightning is too far away for the sound to be heard.
Constant lightning in certain regions is often caused by specific weather patterns, such as the presence of warm, moist air colliding with cooler air masses. This collision can create unstable atmospheric conditions that lead to frequent lightning strikes.
Thunder and lightning are often associated with cumulonimbus clouds.
lightning happens in the summer because it is so dry that when it rains lightning will come.
lightning bolts occur in the clouds.
Lightning can occur without clouds when there is a discharge of electricity between the ground and the atmosphere, often due to the buildup of static electricity in the air. This phenomenon is known as "ground-to-cloud" lightning.

No, lightning cannot stop a tornado. Lightning and tornadoes are independent weather phenomena. Lightning can occur during thunderstorms, which are often associated with tornadoes, but it does not have the ability to influence or stop a tornado.
Yes, lightning can occur during a tornado. It is not caused by the tornado itself, but rather the severe thunderstorm that often accompanies tornadoes. Lightning is a common occurrence in thunderstorms due to the electrical charges interacting within the storm clouds.
no
Tornadoes and lightning are often associated with severe thunderstorms. Lightning can occur before, during, or after a tornado is formed. Tornadoes can form within severe thunderstorms where there is intense updraft and rotation in the atmosphere, which can be fueled by lightning activity.
There can be, but it is not a requirement for one. Search google for tornado lightning and look through the images to see.

Lightning does occur in different places, but many more times then 2!
If thunder and lightning occur together close to you, you are dangerously close to a lightning bolt.
