Who is stronger fire or lighting?

There is a 5th element that not much people put into thought and that is Lightning. Out of the other 4, wind is strongest yet there is nothing that can affect lightning. It can crack the Earth, water and slice through wind. Fire has no affect on it nor lighting on fire but Lightning is the strongest element.


What is sheet or heat lightning?

Sheet lightning and heat lightning are descriptive terms rather than scientific. Sheet lighting is cloud to cloud lightning that is viewed from such a distance that there is no sound. Heat lightning can be either cloud to cloud or cloud to ground at same distance with the added element of color tinting from atmospheric particles as with a sunset.


Is lightning a element?

Normally it is not regarded to be one of the four cardinal 'mythical' or 'magical' elements. Those spots are taken by fire, air, water and earth.If you are talking about a scientific element like magnesium or sodium, lightning is not an element.Concerning the mythical elements however, it's really your own personal preference. I personally deem lightning as an element and simply make them five elements.Finally, I believe there is (don't quote me on this) an ancient Chinese element pentagram that contains Fire, Water, Earth, Wood and Metal. Once again lightning is excluded.I suppose that overall to answer your question simply it is not an element.Hope this helped.(And yes, my name is deliberately wrong)
