The discharge of static electricity in thunderclouds is seen as?
Lightning, which is a visible electric discharge between the clouds or between the clouds and the ground. This discharge of static electricity heats the surrounding air, causing a rapid expansion that creates thunder.
What kind of electricity is lightning an example?
Lightning is an example of static electricity
Is the pressure of the clouds being compressed and heated which cause the lightning?
Lightning is caused by the build-up of electrical charge within clouds. When there is a separation of positive and negative charges within the cloud or between the cloud and the ground, a discharge of electricity occurs as a lightning strike. This discharge can happen due to various atmospheric conditions and processes, but the compression and heating of clouds is not the direct cause of lightning.
Can electricity be generated without using man-made materials?
yes electricity collects in clouds to form lightning and in living organisims such as the electric eel. Also static electricity can be generated using friction (in hair for example).
What is lightning a form of?
Electricity. Lightning is a stream of electrons traveling between the clouds and the ground. It's just like static electricity shock, but much bigger.
How does electricity zap clouds to create lightning?
Electricity zaps clouds to create lightning when the buildup of negative and positive charges in the clouds causes a sudden discharge of electricity, creating a visible bolt of lightning.
Why does dust stick to clouds?
Dust sticks to clouds, because of electricity.
What causes thunder after a lightning strike?
The electricity in the clouds.
Does electricity start from the ground and go up or does it start from the clouds and go down?
i think that electricity starts from the ground
What causes lightling and thunder?
static electricity generated in cumulonimbus clouds
The discharge of static electricity in thunderclouds is seen as?
Lightning, which is a visible electric discharge between the clouds or between the clouds and the ground. This discharge of static electricity heats the surrounding air, causing a rapid expansion that creates thunder.
What causes lightning to occur without the presence of clouds?
Lightning can occur without clouds when there is a discharge of electricity between the ground and the atmosphere, often due to the buildup of static electricity in the air. This phenomenon is known as "ground-to-cloud" lightning.
Can electricity pass through the atmosphere of earth?
Yes, electricity can pass through the Earth's atmosphere, as lightning is a natural phenomenon that demonstrates this. Lightning occurs when electrical charges build up in clouds and then discharge through the atmosphere, creating a visible bolt of electricity between clouds or from clouds to the ground.
Electricity discharged by clouds is also known as?
spunk very funny u skunk
How can static electricity build up on aeroplanes?
It passes from clouds to aircraft and builds up.
What is a sudden release of electricity that can jump between a cloud and the earth or between clouds?
Lightning is a sudden discharge of electricity occurring between clouds or between a cloud and the earth. It is caused by the buildup of electrical charge in the atmosphere and can be very powerful and destructive.
What kind of electricity is lightning an example?
Lightning is an example of static electricity
