A giant spark that flashes across the sky. Each bolt zigzags through the air at many thousand of miles (kilometers) a second! Its electrical charge of about 100 million volts would be enough to light a small town for a whole year! The charge comes from tiny drops of water or ice that bump and rub within huge, towering cumulonimbus clouds. When the charge gets big enough, it creates the lightning. Bolts jump between the cloud and the ground or between two clouds.
What else can I help you with?
Can lightning come from the ground, or does it only originate from the sky?
Lightning can come from the ground as well as from the sky. It can occur when a discharge of electricity happens between a cloud and the ground, or between two clouds.
How does leaving your light on effect the environment?
Leaving lights on increases energy consumption, leading to higher greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that produce electricity. This can contribute to climate change and air pollution. It also leads to higher electricity bills for individuals and businesses.
What are the two basic types of electricity?
The two basic types of electricity are static electricity and current electricity. Static electricity involves the build-up of charge on an object, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
What is lightning without thunder?
Lightning is a visible discharge of electricity, often seen during a thunderstorm. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. So, without thunder, lightning would still be the sudden and bright flash of electricity in the sky.
Does methanol conduct electricity?
No, methanol does not conduct electricity. It does not conduct electricity because it is a non-electrolyte molecule. Sugar also is non-electrolyte, therefore it also does not conduct electricity.
Is electricity a physical science?
Electricity is from the sky. Sky is part of nature. Nature is part of science. Therefore electricity is related to science. Simple.
Is lightning in the sky is the example of static electricity?
Yes.
Can solar electricity be found?
Solar electricity comes from the sun. So yes it can be found in the sky.
What word means electricity loose in the sky?
The word you are looking for is "lightning." Lightning is a natural electrical discharge that occurs in the atmosphere, often during thunderstorms.
Does your electricity comes from lightning in the sky?
No It Comes From The Magnetic Field In The Atmoshere
Does a solar panel generates electricity even if there is no sun in the sky?
Solar panels are not dependent upon the sun to shine from a cloud free sky. Solar Panels generates power on a cloudy day too. They just do not generate power at night. They do generate more power the brighter it is though. Sunlight from a clear sky is the best.
Who was the Greek god of electricity?
There is no specific Greek god of electricity. In Greek mythology, Zeus was the god of the sky and thunder, and he was often associated with lightning bolts, which could be seen as a representation of electricity.
Do electricity come from the sky?
Electricity in the sky is 'static electricity', which shows itself as thunder and lightening. It is caused by warm air and particles forming clouds, rubbing against each other. This tranfers charge from one to another. This builds up an excess of charged particles. When the voltage between them gets too high, the air breaks down between them, causing a surge of electricity as a balance is acheived between them.
What is one word that means electricity is loose in the sky?
Lightning storm--or as some call it, "Zeus's Thunderbutt".
Can lightning come from the ground, or does it only originate from the sky?
Lightning can come from the ground as well as from the sky. It can occur when a discharge of electricity happens between a cloud and the ground, or between two clouds.
Why do you think that dry salt or dry baking soda powder will not conduct electricity?
because sky is so high
Why were the Elizabethan playhouse open to the sky?
because back then there was so electricity so they needed to use natural light
