Lightning is a series of colors and is normally seen as a yellow, white or transparent. Lightning also depends on the temperature, which, as we know, is very, very, very hot.

What is the hottest lightning?

The hottest lightning can reach temperatures of about 30,000 kelvin (53,540 degrees Fahrenheit) for a fraction of a second during a lightning strike.


Does red color attract lightning?

No, the color red does not attract lightning. Lightning is attracted to tall objects, moisture in the air, and the path of least resistance to the ground. The color of an object does not affect its likelihood of being struck by lightning.


What is the worst lightning color?

There is no specific "worst" lightning color. Lightning can appear in various colors depending on atmospheric conditions, with white or blue being the most common. In general, any lightning can be dangerous, regardless of its color.


What is the hottest fire on earth?

The hottest natural flame on Earth is found in lightning bolts, which can reach temperatures of around 30,000 Kelvin. In terms of man-made fires, oxy-acetylene flames in welding torches can reach temperatures of around 3,200 degrees Celsius.


Are there different colors of lightning?

Lightning comes in every color of the rainbow (Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Violet, to name a few). It's almost always white, but often it's tinged with another color around the edges. The three most common colors(aside from white) are electric blue, electric yellow, and "Voltage Violet." The color of the bolt depends on how hot it is; the hotter the lightning, the closer the color will be to the end of the spectrum. Infrared, (red) which is the coolest to ultraviolet (violet), thus hottest. As a note, it's good to keep in mind that real lightning is not shaped like the way as, the "icon" of a lightning bolt. It is not a large zigzag that doubles back on itself. Lightning DOES take a slightly jagged path, but it doesn't change more than a right angle on any turn. Lightning will always have the tendency to travel thus "striking" the object with the least resistance and sending a discharge from there to the ground. Objects with little resistance may include trees, buildings, wet humans, etc.
