Yes, the ionization from lightening creates ozone. Ozone has a "burnt" smell, and I was once close enough to a lightning strike to smell the ozone afterward.

Lightning produces Ozone.

Yes lightning and ozone have alot in common. With each strike of lightning ozone is produced. The more lightning strikes on the earth the more ozone is produced.

Yes. Lightning produces ozone, as does any electric spark. Ozone has a distinctive smell, like garlic. You often smell it around high voltage equipment. Lightning, having a very high temperature, also causes oxygen and nitrogen in the air to combine to form oxides of nitrogen, which dissolve in rain water to form nitrites and nitrates, so lightning is an important natural mechanism for fixing atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use.

The ozone concentration in the ambience is a dynamic stability between sources and sinks. it extremely is plausible to extend the fee of ozone production with synthetic lightning, yet no longer functional on the size required to make a distinction. a prior remark properly suggested that there is a huge distinction between tropospheric and stratospheric ozone. The 0.5 existence of ozone in the troposphere is 3-5 days, which would not enable finished mixing. The results of CFC's is strongly temperature based. Halo-hydrocarbons adsorb to ice crystals at low temperatures and this will boost their catalytic capability to wreck ozone. customarily those molecular complexes have distinctive stages with translational ordering and orientational illness at severe temperatures (250 ok) which freezes out by using fact the temperature decreases under approximately 2 hundred ok. in the low temperature stages, dipoles align and this provides an more suitable catalytic result.

Lightning ionizes the air around the lightning bolt during a strike, and fuses atmoshperic oxygen (O2) into ozone (O3).

Yes. lightening acts as the source (energy ) for chemical reaction that converts O2 (oxygen) to O3 (ozone)
SO more the lightening...more ozone is formed....even thou its short lived radical..
