Yes, the amount of electricity in lightning does equal 1.21 Jigawats
True. Lightning is caused by electrical discharge within clouds due to the buildup of static electricity.
ligtning po.. its true..
There are many types of lightning STREAMERS that start a lightning strike. There are 3 basic places where streamers will originate from. They can come from a cloud to the ground or the ground to a cloud or from cloud to cloud. So your teacher was correct. But not always from the ground.
sometimes it does but not allways _______________________________________________________________________ It actually starts from the cloud base when a stepped leader comes down from the cloud base and meets the return stroke from the ground, which is what makes the visible lightning that we see with our eyes. In the nice attempt to educate you, your science teacher was incorrect.
Yes, there are several myths and misconceptions surrounding ball lightning, such as it being a form of supernatural or paranormal activity. However, scientists believe it is a natural phenomenon that occurs during thunderstorms when lightning interacts with the atmosphere. The exact mechanism behind ball lightning is still not fully understood.
True. Lightning is a natural example of static electricity, which occurs when there is a build-up of electrical charge in the atmosphere that discharges in the form of a lightning bolt.
No. Lightning is a discharge of static electricity that produce light.
True. Lightning is caused by electrical discharge within clouds due to the buildup of static electricity.
Yes, it is true that lightning is produced during a thunderstorm. Lightning is a discharge of electricity that occurs between charged regions in a thundercloud, or between a cloud and the ground.
We are long past the hypothesis stage, with regard to electricity, which is a very well understood phenomenon at this point. If you would like to know about the history of scientific investigation of electricity, there were a number of hypotheses, including the hypothesis that lightning is a form of electricity (which is true) and that nerve impulses are also a form of electricity (also true) and that electricity can be generated by some types of chemical reactions (also true) and that electricity can be used to make the Frankenstein monster come to life (not true).

Lightning literally is static electricity. just like when your shock someone after walking in sock on carpet.. its the same transer of energy due to the clouds and the earth becoming electrically unbalanced. It is the same as when you rub your socks on a carpet and then touch someone.
Yes, grounding is a common method to protect a building from lightning strikes. By providing a direct path for the electrical energy of a lightning strike to travel safely into the ground, grounding systems can help prevent damage to the structure and its occupants.
