What 3 ways can lightning occur?
Lightning can occur when positively and negatively charged particles within a cloud separate, creating an electrical imbalance that is discharged as a bolt of lightning. It can also occur between different clouds or between a cloud and the ground when the charge buildup is released. Additionally, lightning can occur during volcanic eruptions when ash particles in the plume become charged and generate lightning.
Why does thunder ussually occur during storms that have lightning flashes?
The thunder is the sound of lightning but you only hear the thunder after the flash because lightning is faster than the speed of sound.
Can lightning stop a tornado?
No, lightning cannot stop a tornado. Lightning and tornadoes are independent weather phenomena. Lightning can occur during thunderstorms, which are often associated with tornadoes, but it does not have the ability to influence or stop a tornado.
Do thunder and lightning occur during a northeaster?
Yes, thunder and lightning can occur during a nor'easter, which is a coastal storm with strong winds that typically brings heavy rain or snow to the northeastern United States. The collision of warm and cold air masses in these storm systems can produce the conditions necessary for thunderstorms to develop, leading to thunder and lightning.
Does lightning occur on Venus?
no
How does the process of grounding occur during a lightning strike?
When lightning strikes a surface, it strikes it will all the energy that it contains and this causes it to heat up to very high temperatures, which in smaller objects can cause them to burn up. In a surface which has large area, this energy gets dissipated over the entire surface and the amount of heat per unit area gets considerably reduced. A lightning rod works on transferring this large amount of energy to the ground so that the heat energy can be dissipated harmlessly.
When do most lightning injuries occur?
during everyday activities
Does lightning strike in a tornado?
Yes, lightning can occur during a tornado. It is not caused by the tornado itself, but rather the severe thunderstorm that often accompanies tornadoes. Lightning is a common occurrence in thunderstorms due to the electrical charges interacting within the storm clouds.

When does a forest fire normally occur?
it can occur during the summer when it is hot and especially when there's a storm because of lightning
Where do lightning bolts occur?
lightning bolts occur in the clouds.
Is there lightning and thunder during typhoon?
Yes, lightning and thunder can occur during typhoons. Typhoons are intense tropical storms that can produce severe weather conditions including heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning strikes. Thunder is produced by lightning and can be heard during a typhoon.
Is thunder the same as lightning?
Thunder and lightning occur roughly at the same time during a thunderstorm, but they are different things. Typically you see the lightning first and then you hear the thunder.
Is there lightning during a tornado?
There can be, but it is not a requirement for one. Search google for tornado lightning and look through the images to see.
Why does thunder ussually occur during storms that have lightning flashes?
The thunder is the sound of lightning but you only hear the thunder after the flash because lightning is faster than the speed of sound.
Why does lightning occur only when it's raining?
Lightning comes when two weather "fronts" come together and moisture particles collide. Rain = moisture in one of those fronts, hence, lightning and rain are often together. Lightning does occur even when it is not raining. ==Answered By: whatrukidding==
