What makes thunder ad lightning?

Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt due to extreme heat. Lightning occurs when electrical charges build up in clouds and between clouds and the ground, creating a discharge of energy in the form of an electric spark.


What are the negative and positive charges in clouds called?

the positive and negative charges in clouds are the protons and electrons formed from the friction of the water that condensated to make the cloud.


Is lightning current or static electricity?

Both. A lightning bolt has many thousands of amps at millions of volts. The planet spins, but also has stationary waves through which it spins. It also has friction. Both of these cause the potential in the air to rise, as well as the earth. And yes..the earth has electricity in it. We don't create electricity from nature. We simply borrow it, make it do our bidding, and return it to ground...or "earth"


What are 5 facts about static electricity?

Static electricity occurs when positive and negative charges build up on the surface of an object. It can be generated by friction between two objects or by separating and rejoining charges. Static electricity can cause objects to stick together or repel each other. It can also cause sparks or shocks when discharged. Some common examples of static electricity include rubbing a balloon on your hair to make it stick and lightning during a storm.


Does lightning always make contact with the ground?

No, lightning does not always make contact with the ground. It can also occur within clouds or between clouds without touching the ground.

Is it possible to make lightning with your hands?

No, it is not possible to create lightning with your hands. Lightning is a natural phenomenon that occurs due to the buildup of electrical charges in the atmosphere. Trying to generate lightning with your hands can be extremely dangerous and should not be attempted.


What makes electrical charges in clouds so they make lightning?

Hot air and cold air

How does thunder make a thunderstom?

Thunder does not make a thunderstorm. It is the other way around. Thunderstorms from from towering cumulonimbus clouds powered by rising air currents called updrafts. Collisions between ice crystals and water droplets within a storm cause static charges to build up, which are then separated by air currents. These charges are then released int he form of lightning. The lightning superheats the air, causing it to expand rapidly, creating a shockwave we hear as thunder.


Can batteries make lightning?

Batteries do not create lightning. Lightning is a natural phenomenon that occurs due to the buildup of electrical charges in the atmosphere. However, batteries can generate electricity which can be used to power devices that could create artificial light or spark, but this is not the same as lightning.


What is the Best build in swords and sandals 3?

Be a mage, It's smart to be a lightning/ fire, since most of the arena bosses are immune to everything but fire, and the lightning spell level 2 is cheaper. so work with that, Build a high defence and make sure fire is your primary. learn to dual wield and find weapons that add as much int as possible.


What makes lightning in a cloud?

the water cells rub together and it causes static electricity. And they get excited!!! you shove the cloud penis inside the females verticle smile and tehn enjoy the won derfulk seman substance of rain


What type of particles gather near the bottom of clouds before energy is released as lightning?

the answer is both positive and negitive charges and that is because to make lighting it has to be positive and negitive charges because if there is both 2 negitive charges will both repel and the same thing will happen to positive charges but when positive and negitive charges and positive charges will attract


Is it possable to make a subcontrabass trombone?

Possible to build, yes. Possible to play, probably not.

Why is thunder associated by lightning?

Lightning heats up the air and the heated expanding air causes the thunder sound. You can estimate how far away the lightening was by counting seconds after the flash, 6 seconds to a mile away.thunder is the sound of lightning after the lightning strike occurs


Is it possible to make a lightning tornado?

No. While tornadoes and lightning often occur at the same time a tornado cannot be made of lighting, nor are the two directly related. A tornado is a vortex of air; lighting is an electrical discharge.
