Sheet lightning, or more accurately intracloud lightning is the same as lightning that hits the ground, the only difference is that it is within the cloud. They are no different apart from that. They are the exact same thing, except one would take a different path. They are both dangerous.

Is sheet lightning and heat lightning the same thing?

Sheet lightning and Heat lightning are very similar, if not the same. They form the same way, but might strike different. For instance, sheet lightning looks more like a sheet in the sky, (strange eh? :D) and doesn't normally strike down into the ground, and when you have heat lightning, you see differently. But mostly, they form the same way. =D good luck!
