When does lightning happen?

Answer 1

Lightning will show up in lightning storms. Lightning storms usually occur in summer or warm places. The bolts will travel the shortest path they can so make sure you aren't near or are the tallest object around!

Answer 2

Lightning occurs when negatively charged electrons within a cloud are attracted to positively charged particles on the ground or within another cloud. This movement of charged particles creates an electrical discharge that we see as lightning.

Answer 3

Friction happens between clouds, wind, air, etc... and the electrons in the cloud want to go to the positively charged ground. Air molecules are ripped apart creating an ion path which the electrons follow down in a huge energy release. The air not only lights up but also heats up.

Answer 4

Lightning only happen when there are thunderstorms.

___________

Positively charged particles in the atmosphere during the uprising and downdrafts of a thunderstorm cause small high speed collisions. When these collisions connect they form lightning that can connect Cloud to cloud, cloud to ground, or cloud to object (such as a plane)

Answer 5

Lightning strikes the highest point first, whether it is a lightning rod, tree or telephone pole.

Answer 6

Lightning happens in the clouds and all over the world. It doesn't happen during winter though.

Answer 7

Actually, it is quite random. There are minus charges, which come OUT of the ground. And there are Positive charges, Which go into the ground.

Answer 8

carry the six then use the quadratic formula negative b plus or minus the squrare root of b squared minus 4 ac all over 2

Answer 9

Just about everywhere.

Answer 10

Where it is positively charged.
