Most of the energy in Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and living systems comes from the Sun. Solar energy is absorbed by the Earth, powering processes like photosynthesis in plants, weather patterns, and ocean currents. This energy is essential for supporting life on our planet.

Does lightning need oxygen to exist?

No, lightning does not require oxygen to exist because it is an electrical discharge that occurs in the atmosphere. Lightning is the result of an imbalance of electrical charges in the atmosphere and is not dependent on the presence of oxygen.

Can all of the earths energy find its way out of earths atmosphere?

No. Most of Earth's stored energy is within matter and it will not "find its way out of earths atmosphere" on it's own. The only energy that leaves Earth is radiant energy (some heat, light, radio energy, etc) or matter that is thrown out of the atmosphere by cosmic collisions. Some particles and element (e.g. hydrogen) may also be lost to space as Earth orbits our sun.
