cloud to cloud lightning
Lighting danced across the sky means the lightning did not go in a straight pattern, lightning usually goes in a straight pattern.
A lightning strike typically follows a jagged, branching shape due to the path of least resistance through the air. It can appear as a single bolt or multiple branches stretching across the sky or ground.
The sudden appearance of lightning in the sky without any accompanying sound is typically caused by a type of lightning called "heat lightning." Heat lightning occurs when distant lightning strikes are too far away for the sound to be heard, but the light can still be seen.
Lightning typically strikes from the sky down to the ground.
When lightning appears as small bursts in a dotted line, it is called sheet lightning. This type of lightning is caused by distant lightning flashes reflecting off clouds or atmospheric particles, creating a diffuse illumination in the sky.
Forked lightning branches in multiple directions across the sky, creating a jagged appearance.

Sheet lightning is a type of lightning that illuminates the sky in a broad, diffuse manner without producing thunder. It is caused by the reflection and scattering of lightning off clouds and can create a flickering, sheet-like appearance across the sky.
The storm danced across the sky, lightning flashing and thunder roaring as it swept through the city.
The lightning danced across the sky, illuminating the darkness with its fiery tendrils.
"lightning was playing across the half sky"
Lighting danced across the sky means the lightning did not go in a straight pattern, lightning usually goes in a straight pattern.
Sky lightning is more commonly known as a lightning bolt or simply lightning.
Lightning flashing across the sky is a physical change. It results from the movement of electrical charges in the atmosphere, without any changes in the chemical composition of the air or the resulting light.
A lightning strike typically follows a jagged, branching shape due to the path of least resistance through the air. It can appear as a single bolt or multiple branches stretching across the sky or ground.
Arcing is electrical current jumping across a gap, or creating an arc, as in a spark plug firing, or lightning arcing across the sky.
This phenomenon is called "heat lightning," which occurs when lightning from a distant thunderstorm is visible from a clear sky without audible thunder. The lightning is too far away for the sound to travel, giving the appearance of lightning in a cloudless sky.
