Actually I usually crowd the puddle when welding vertical up. The longer the arc length the more the arc can wander.

The ideal length of an arc in welding typically ranges from 1/16 to 1/8 inch (1.5 to 3 mm), depending on the welding process and material being used. A shorter arc can increase heat concentration, while a longer arc may lead to insufficient fusion or increased spatter. Maintaining the proper arc length is crucial for achieving good penetration, bead shape, and overall weld quality. Adjustments may be necessary based on specific welding conditions and parameters.
The arc length in stick welding should typically be about the thickness of a nickel, roughly 1/8 inch (3 mm). Maintaining this distance helps ensure a stable arc and optimal heat transfer, resulting in better weld quality. Too short an arc can lead to excessive spatter and a poor weld, while too long an arc may cause incomplete fusion and increased porosity. Adjust the arc length based on the specific electrode and welding position for best results.
The 'arc' in arc welding is not an acronym but in turn is a reference to the electric arc that is being generated during the welding process.
If you are asking for the correct nomenclature it is Shielded Metal Arc Welding.
Almost all welding today is done with electricity (Arc Welding) even on cast iron. SMAW, GTAW, GMAW etc. --AW means Arc Welding.
Yes, arc welding does create ozone. It is because the temperatures created during arc welding convert the nearby oxygen to ozone.

ARC welding uses large amounts of electricity to melt the metal, not a hot flame. So no, LPG cannot be used for ARC welding.
Welding Electrorodes or Welding Rods are used in arc welding. Arc welding is a special type of welding which uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between the base material (e.g. steel) and the electrode. The Welding Ectrorodes can be used for all weldable aluminum and mild steel.
The American Welding Society abbreviations for the arc welding processes that melt a tubular electrode with alloys deoxidizers and slag formers in their cores are FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding) and metal-cored arc welding (MC).
Shielded Metal Arc Welding, known colloquially as "stick".
SAW welding is a type of arc welding while ERW welding is spot or seam welding. SAW stand for submerged arc welding while ERW stands for electric resistance welding.
