A tornado spins regarless of whether it is being hit by lighting. Lightning will not affect a tornado in any observable way. The lightning itself will not spin, but the plasma may be swept along by the wind. If the linking has multiple strokes, it may appear to consist of several parallel bolts in a phenomenon called ribbon lighting, which occurs when lightning strikes in the presense of strong winds.
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.
no
a tornado is because it has more kinetic energy
The lightning has no path to ground.
Not in the tornado itself. However, tornadoes occur during thunderstorms, so they are usually accompanied by thunder.
Nothing happens. The lightning will not affect the 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.
If lightning strikes a tornado, it can increase the intensity of the tornado but doesn't fundamentally change its behavior. Instead, the tornado may briefly light up and become more visible. Lightning hitting a tornado is a rare occurrence due to the unpredictability of both weather phenomena.
A tornado can get wide, very wide. A bolt of lightning is only one half inch thick.
There can be, but it is not a requirement for one. Search google for tornado lightning and look through the images to see.

No. While tornadoes and lightning often occur at the same time a tornado cannot be made of lighting, nor are the two directly related. A tornado is a vortex of air; lighting is an electrical discharge.
Actually the tornado spin is a magic attack. Each character has it's own magic. The Arabian knight and the bear have the tornado. It's their Y magic attack.
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.
No. It is the spinning air that forms a tornado.
Neither; they are the same thing. A tornado is known as a twister because they spin.
Most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
