What is the most dangerous type of lightning?
I hope this is helpful... ... the most dangerous type of lightning is cloud to ground lightning. see was that so bad
What is the most dangerous type of thunder?
Cloud-to-ground lightning is one of the most dangerous types of thunder, as it can strike directly and cause significant damage or injury. It poses a threat to both people and property during thunderstorms.
Does lightning only occur from cloud to ground?
Double ZapperYes. In fact, visible lightning usually comes up from the ground into the cloud! The lightning bolt is actually retracing a path of weak electricity that the cloud sent down as a sort of "feeler" sensing for the shortest path to take to the ground. So if you're in an open space during a lightning storm, and you feel your hair stand up from static electricity, you might want to run for cover!
When lightning strikes within one cloud it is called lightning?
It's called in-cloud or cloud-to-cloud lightning.
When lightning strikes within one cloud it is called what?
It's called in-cloud or cloud-to-cloud lightning.

What is most dangerous in thunderstorm rain or lightning?
In most cases it is lightning. Any cloud-to-ground lighting bolt can kill while rain is usually harmless. Rain, too, can be dangerous if it leads to flooding.
When lightning strikes within one cloud it is called lightning?
It's called in-cloud or cloud-to-cloud lightning.
How many different types of lighting strikes are there?
There are three main types of lightning strikes: cloud-to-ground strikes, intra-cloud strikes, and cloud-to-cloud strikes. Cloud-to-ground strikes are the most common and well-known type, where lightning extends from the cloud to the ground. Intra-cloud strikes occur within the cloud itself, and cloud-to-cloud strikes happen between different clouds.
When lightning strikes within one cloud it is called what?
It's called in-cloud or cloud-to-cloud lightning.
Does lightining come from the cloud or ground?
Lightning primarily originates from the cloud, specifically from the buildup of electrical charges within a thunderstorm. When the charge difference between positively and negatively charged areas becomes significant, it leads to a discharge of electricity, creating a lightning bolt that travels from the cloud to the ground or vice versa. While most lightning strikes do indeed discharge from the cloud to the ground, there can also be upward lightning that initiates from tall structures or the ground itself.
What are the types of lightning flashes called?
There are several types of lightning:Cloud-to-ground lightning which includes bead lightning, ribbon lightning, Ssaccato lightning and forked lightningGround-to-cloud lightningCloud-to-cloud lightning which includes sheet lightning and heat lightningDry lightningRocket lightningPositive lightningBall lightningUpper-atmospheric lightning with exotic names like sprites, Bbue jets and elvesand there is more but i cant remember, go to wikipedia
The electrical discharge in lightning often occurs between cloud and ground?
Yes, lightning typically occurs between a cloud and the ground, or between two clouds. It is caused by the separation of positive and negative charges within a cloud, resulting in a discharge of electricity to balance the charges.
What type of lightning strikes within one cloud?
The type of lightning that occurs within one cloud is called intracloud lightning (IC lightning). This phenomenon happens when electrical charges within the cloud become imbalanced, leading to a discharge of electricity that travels between different regions of the same cloud. Intracloud lightning is the most common type of lightning, often seen as bright flashes illuminating the cloud itself without striking the ground.
Does lightning come from the clouds?
The source of lightning in thunderhead clouds is when there is a significant amount of ice in the cloud, most likely hail and there are 2 differing charges in 2 areas. The negative charge is at the bottom of the cloud, while the positive charge is at the top of the cloud. The ground is positively charge until there is an electrical discharge between the negatively charged cloud base and the positively charged ground, then it becomes mostly negative which then can open up the opportunity for a lightning bolt to jump from the top of the cloud, all the way down to the ground in another electrical discharge that is of greater electrical potential (voltage) than the first electrical discharge between the cloud base and the ground. This is because it takes more voltage to have a visible electrical discharge over a longer distance. There has to be 30,000 volts/cm of distance for a visible electrical discharge to occur.
