lightiting is produced by what?

Answer 1

Static Electricity. Next time you dry clothes, when they dry, turn off the light and take them out of the dryer. Slowly pull the clothes apart and listen. You should see lightening and the crackle you hear is Thunder, just on a small scale.

Answer 2

During thunderstorms the air swirls violently causing water droplets in the clouds to become electrically charged. The electrons collect in the lower parts of clouds. Most of the lightning occurs between different regions of a cloud or between different clouds. Some reaches Earth. This is because the clouds cause the surface of the Earth to become charged by induction. Negative charges on the bottom of a cloud repel electrons, leaving the surface of the Earth with a positive charge. If the charge buildup is sufficient, a huge spark of lightning is produced.

Answer 3

Charge in the atmosphere builds up during a storm, usually when the clouds are moving fast. After a certain amount of charge is accumulated, a flow of electrons discharges between the clouds and the ground, which is seen as lightning

Answer 4

When the clouds are charged by friction the electrical potential between these clouds and the earth rises. When this electrical potential is enough high to counter the electrical resistance of the air, a lightning is create. Then the electrical potential decrease.

Answer 5

Did you mean lightning? Lightning is produced in thunderstorms when liquid and ice particles above the freezing level collide, and build up large electrical fields in the clouds.
