After a lightning strike what is the smell?
After a lightning strike, the smell often reported is ozone. Ozone has a sharp, metallic scent that is reminiscent of chlorine or bleach.
Is ozone that is made by lightning harmful?
Lightning produces ozone in the upper atmosphere, contributing to earth's protective ozone layer that filters out harmful UV rays from the sun. Lightning contributes negligibly to ground level ozone, which is harmful.
How thunder helps our ozone layer?
Yes thunder makes ozone. It is because when thunder passes through oxygen due to electrical discharge the oxygen molecules disintegrate and thus form nascent ozygen which on reaction with oxygen molecule form ozone. This process is used in the formation of artificial ozone in an ozoniser. The pleasant smell during lightning is of the formation of ozone.
Is ozone formed in nature?
Yes, ozone is formed in nature by a no of ways. Uv rays coming from sun and lightning are the factors that create ozone.
How does lightning affect the ozone layer?
Lightning is a massive flow of electrons, that superheats gas to a conductive plasma state, and radiates broad spectrum energetic radiation... including ionizing radiation. Either the oxygen atoms in the plasma, or the ionizing radiation breaks apart oxygen molecules to make oxygen atoms, then some of these now-loose oxygen atoms combine with oxygen molecules to make ozone.
How does the lightning and thunder affect the ozone layer?
Lightning and thunder react with oxygen to form ozone. Thus they help in replenishing the ozone layer.

Does lightning help make the ozone?
No
Is ozone that is made by lightning harmful?
Lightning produces ozone in the upper atmosphere, contributing to earth's protective ozone layer that filters out harmful UV rays from the sun. Lightning contributes negligibly to ground level ozone, which is harmful.
Does lightning have a beneficial effect on the ozone layer?
Yes, it does. It helps to replenish the ozone.
Can the ozone repair?
Yes the ozone can repair itself. But only when humans stop the use of CFC's.
What can be done to repair the hole in the ozone layer?
In order to repair the ozone layer, we must decrease the use of ozone depleting substances. These are the ones containing CFC's which deplete the ozone layer.
Can oxygen form ozone when it interacts with lightning.?
Yes.
Does lightning destroy the ozone?
no, it is too low in the atmosphere.
What is formed by the interaction of lightning with oxygen?
Ozone is formed when lightning interacts with oxygen molecules in the atmosphere. Lightning breaks apart the oxygen molecules, allowing them to recombine into ozone, which is a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms.
How thunder helps our ozone layer?
Yes thunder makes ozone. It is because when thunder passes through oxygen due to electrical discharge the oxygen molecules disintegrate and thus form nascent ozygen which on reaction with oxygen molecule form ozone.
