Well, the path in which the visible portion of lightning takes is plasma. But plasma is a gas. An ionized gas. So the flash of light you see is static electricity from the clouds jumping through that ionized gas (plasma) to the earth.
I have a master's in EE. I'm creatable. :)
What else can I help you with?
Is lightning a solid liquid or a gas?
Well actually the answer is Plasma. Plasma is lightning, Aurora Borealis, and fire are plasmas. Plasma's are particles that have broken apart. They form when high energy plasma go into the atmosphere.
What is a form of matter common to stars and lightning?
Chicken WingsThe forth form of Matter, even discussed on such TV shows in the 60s such as Lost In Space is....PLASMAThis is found in lightning bolts, nukes, and natually start.
Is lightning solid?
No. A bolt of lightning is made of plasma, which is ionized gas.
Give the example for plasma state of matter on earth?
The auroras, also known as the northern and southern lights, are examples of plasma seen on Earth. This phenomenon occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth's atmosphere, creating colorful lights in the sky.
Why can plasma not exist on Earth?
Plasma can exist on Earth, and in fact, it is the most common state of matter in the universe. Lightning, flames, and the sun are examples of plasma that exist on Earth. However, creating and containing plasma in controlled environments for practical applications can be challenging due to the high temperatures and magnetic fields required.
A bolt of lightning exist in what phase?
Plasma
Where can matter be found in plasma state in blood or livers or river or lightning?
Matter can be found in the plasma state in lightning. Lightning is a form of plasma, which is a state of matter where atoms are stripped of their electrons and exist as ionized gas. Plasma is commonly found in stars, lightning, and certain experimental setups, rather than in blood, livers, or rivers.
What is the only form of plasma on earth?
The only form of plasma on Earth found in nature is lightning. Lightning occurs when an electrical charge builds up in the atmosphere and discharges, creating a plasma state of matter.
Can plasma be found in lightning?
Yes, lightning is a natural form of plasma. Lightning occurs when a large discharge of electricity ionizes and heats the air in its path, creating a plasma state. Plasma is a state of matter in which gas particles become ionized, forming an electrically conductive medium.
Is it true that lightning can make plasma?
Yes. It is the plasma that makes the bolt visible.
What phase a bolt of lightning exist?
plasma
What state does lightning have?
state of matter? plasma.
What is a example of nature made plasma?
An example of naturally occurring plasma is lightning. When lightning strikes, it heats up the air to create a plasma state, which is characterized by ionized gas particles. This plasma emits light and sound as the electrical discharge occurs.
Which state of matter is created by lightning?
Plasma state
What is the form of matter common to stars and lightning?
plasma
Is lightning considered a liquid solid or gas?
A lightning bolt is plasma, a fourth state of matter.
Can Plasma can be found in neon lights?
yes but they can be changed into the plasma that reside in lightning but in lameist terms yes
