Is it possible for sheet lighting to strike a person?
Not likely... Sheet lightning is 'cloud-to-cloud' discharges. The fact that the 'flash' is hidden within the cloud makes the whole cloud appear to light up.
Is sheet lightning and heat lightning the same thing?
Sheet lightning and Heat lightning are very similar, if not the same. They form the same way, but might strike different. For instance, sheet lightning looks more like a sheet in the sky, (strange eh? :D) and doesn't normally strike down into the ground, and when you have heat lightning, you see differently. But mostly, they form the same way. =D good luck!
How is sheet lightning different than lightning strikes?
Sheet lightning refers to diffuse lightning that illuminates the sky without a visible bolt, often occurring within clouds. In contrast, lightning strikes involve a visible flash of electrical discharge between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. Sheet lightning is more characterized by its glowing, widespread illumination compared to the focused, powerful discharge of a lightning strike.
Does lighting hit something everytime it strikes?
Lightning does not hit something every time it strikes. There are various forms of lightning. Lightning that is classified as "cloud to ground" lightning will strike something in it's path. Another form of lightning is sheet lightning. This type of lighting illuminates the sky and spreads from cloud to cloud.

What is the difference between sheet lightning and a lightning bolt?

heat lightning best definition?
sheet
What type of lightning appears as a broad illumination of parts of a thundercloud caused by the reflection of a lightning flash?
Sheet lightning
What is sheet or heat lightning?
Sheet lightning and heat lightning are descriptive terms rather than scientific. Sheet lighting is cloud to cloud lightning that is viewed from such a distance that there is no sound. Heat lightning can be either cloud to cloud or cloud to ground at same distance with the added element of color tinting from atmospheric particles as with a sunset.
When lightning appears as small bursts in a dotted line what it is called?

How many names are there for the form of lightning?
