The wavelength of red laser light is between 620 and 750 nanometers (billionths of a meter). Anything emitting or reflecting light in that wavelength is perceived by us (human beings) as red.

If the light were in the range of 495 to 570 nanometers, it would appear green, and would seem even brighter at the same energy level. For this reason green lasers make great pointers for stellar objects in dark skies.

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.

Red sprites are a type of lightning that can appear red, orange, or yellow in color. These upper atmospheric electrical discharges occur high above thunderstorm clouds and can be seen as a burst or flicker of light.

What causes pink lightning?

From NOAA Lightning can appear to be many different colors depending on what the light travels through to get to your eyes. In snowstorms, where is somewhat rare, pink and green are often described as colors of lightning. Haze, dust, moisture, raindrops and any other particles in the atmosphere will affect the color by absorbing or diffracting a portion of the white light of lightning.


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.

What causes red lightning?

Heat lightning is actually ordinary light that is simply too far away for. Lightning is causes as water droplets and ice crystals in a thunderstorm collide and build up electrical charges. These charges are eventually released in massive discharges called lightning.
