Is it true that lightning can happen because of the release of static electricity?
Yes because they are both the same electron until its starts lightning they both become negative and attract!
Opposites attract smarty.. they are different groups of protons and electrons. Earth being positive repels the positive charges in the cloud which makes the lower part of the cloud increasingly negative. this difference in charges causes lightning which is a transfer of charges to try and equal out the conflicting balance of positive and negative charges.

Why doesn't thunder and lighting happen at the same time?
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).
Three most important things about electricity?
Lightning can happen cloud-to-ground, intra-cloud, and inter-cloud. Lightning is almost every color of the rainbow. lightning is rarely yellow. Lightning doesn't strike the tallest thing, it follows the easiest path.
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.
When did Operation Bayonet Lightning happen?
Operation Bayonet Lightning happened on 2003-12-02.
What will happen if there's no electricity?
we have no light! when electricity is not discovered!
How is lightning related to electrity?
Lightning is like static electricity, except on a much bigger scale. Both lightning and static electricity happen because of the attraction between the opposite charges. protons, and electrons
How does lightning realate to electricity?
Well i don't know about electricity but i know about static electricity. Lightning is like static electricity, except on a much bigger scale. Both lightning and static electricity happen because of the attraction between the opposite charges. When static electricity moves, it is a current. When static electricity in clouds discharges to earth there is a huge, very short current pulse (surge).
Electricity released which has built up in thunder clouds by evening?
The discharge of electricity built up during a storm can be dangerous. It is a static discharge that is generated by positive an negatively charged clouds. When these clouds come in close contact with each other there is an electrical static discharge. This is known as lightning.
Why does lightning strike near water?
Lightning strikes strike near water because water is a good conductor of electricity. Most lightning strikes happen by the ocean because the salt makes it an even better conductor at electricity than fresh water.
Why doesn't thunder and lighting happen at the same time?
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).
Why do thunder and lightning usally happen together?
Thunder and lightning usually happen together because they are both produced during the same weather phenomenon known as a thunderstorm. Lightning is a result of the discharge of electricity in the atmosphere, which rapidly heats the air to create the sound waves we hear as thunder. The light travels faster than the sound, so we see the lightning first and hear the thunder shortly after.
Why does lightning and thunder occur everywhere?
Lightning and thunder occur during thunderstorms due to the buildup and release of electrical energy in the atmosphere. This can happen anywhere on Earth where the necessary atmospheric conditions exist, such as the presence of moisture, unstable air, and a source of lift. Lightning is the visible discharge of electricity, while thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding the lightning bolt.
What will happen if lightning strikes CN tower?
Nothing, because the C.N Tower is basically a big lightning rod. So the lightning gets attracted to it.
How is lightning a form of static electricity?
Lightning is like static electricity, except on a much bigger scale. Both lightning and static electricity happen because of the attraction between the opposite charges. protons, and electrons
Can electric tornadoes happen?
No. While tornadoes are usually accompanied by lightning and can sometimes produce static discharges, electricity has nothing to do with the way they work.
Three most important things about electricity?
Lightning can happen cloud-to-ground, intra-cloud, and inter-cloud. Lightning is almost every color of the rainbow. lightning is rarely yellow. Lightning doesn't strike the tallest thing, it follows the easiest path.
How does lightning happens in the earth?
lightning cnat happen IN the earth only outside it because it needs positive and negative charges from the sky and ground
