An electrical discharge contains a flow of electric current, which is the movement of charged particles, typically electrons. This discharge can occur in various forms, such as lightning, sparks, or arcs, and is often accompanied by the emission of light, heat, and sound. The specific characteristics of the discharge depend on factors such as the medium through which it occurs and the voltage involved. Additionally, it may contain ionized gases and other byproducts resulting from the interaction of the electric current with the surrounding environment.
Yes. Tropical storms do produce some lightning, but not as much as regular thunderstorms.
Electrons build up electrical discharge. They carry negative charge.
No, lightning does not contain salt. Lightning is a massive discharge of electricity caused by the buildup and release of electrical energy in the atmosphere, typically between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. Salt is not a component of lightning.
Yes, though there are not atoms specific to lightning. Lightning is an electrical discharge through air. The discharge itself does not contain atoms, but the lighting bolt, the channel of plasma through which the discharge moves, does. It consists of the atoms and molecules of air that have been ionized.
Catalysis with a plasma electrical discharge.
Mercury.
A storm accompanied by lightning (electrical discharge) is called an electrical storm.
natural electrical discharge in the sky/clouds
An electrical discharge in the sky typically refers to phenomena such as lightning, which occurs when there is a buildup of electrical energy in the atmosphere. This discharge happens when the electrical potential between clouds or between a cloud and the ground becomes strong enough to overcome the resistance of the air, resulting in a rapid release of energy in the form of a bright flash and thunder. Other forms of electrical discharge can include sprites and elves, which are transient luminous events occurring high above thunderstorms.
The term used to refer to the process of electrical discharge and the flow of electrical activity is "electric current." It is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, such as a wire, and is measured in amperes (A).

It is called lightning.
