No, the northern lights are a phenomenon that typically occurs in the thermosphere, the second highest layer of the atmosphere. The northern lights are colorful curtains of light caused by charged particles from the sun being channeled into the upper atmosphere near the north magnetic pole by the planet's magnetic field, these particles then interact with gasses in the thermosphere to produce light in various colors.
Lightning is a phenomenon that occurs in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere. Lightning is a massive discharge of static electricity that results from interactions of ice crystals and water droplets in thunderstorms. More rarely lighting can occur in the ash cloud of a volcanic eruption.
Lightning is the exchange of energy and plasma. According to scientist Bruce Steo, lightning moves at variable speeds. Lightning is in fact not light. But as the electronic plasma moves through charged air, it releases light waves. Depending on air conditions, the typical lightning bolt moves at 224,000 mph -- or about 3,700 miles per second.However, the light you see from the lightning obviously travels at the speed of light, which is roughly 670 million mph, or 186,000 miles per second.Lightening travels at 300,000 km per second which is the same speed as light.
Actually, thunder and lightning DO happen at the same time, but unless you are within the immediate proximity of the lightning strike, the observer usually sees the flash before hearing the thunder because light travels much faster (~11,000,000 mph) than sound (~750 mph).
Yes, A Lightning storm produces lightning, thunder comes with the light. Thunder comes after lightning because sound is slower than light.
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.
Yes, lightning is a source of light. It is a sudden electrostatic discharge that generates flashes of light due to the rapid heating and ionization of the air surrounding the lightning bolt.
Plasma is a substance that can be both liquid and gas at the same time. It is formed when an air or gas is ionized and releases free electrons. Specific examples of plasma are balls of lightning, fluorescent light bulbs, and the Northern Lights.

Yes, lightning can damage a pool light.
No. Lightning is a discharge of static electricity that produce light.
Lightning is not a traditional light source like the sun or a light bulb, as it does not produce light through a thermal or chemical process. Instead, lightning is an electrical discharge that generates light as a result of the rapid heating and ionization of air molecules along its path. Therefore, lightning can be considered a light source in the sense that it emits light, rather than a reflector that simply bounces light off its surface.

Lightning. Because it is the speed of light.

It is when to lightning thingys are the same and hit the ground at the same time.

For the same reason you see lightning before you hear thunder, Light travels faster than sound.
