Product Information

Ball lightning - a rare form of lightning in which a persistent and moving luminous white or coloured sphere is seen. Cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning is either positive or negative, as defined by the direction of the conventional electric current between cloud and ground. Most CG lightning is negative, meaning that a negative charge is transferred to ground and electrons travel downward along the lightning channel (conventionally the current flows from the ground to the cloud). The reverse happens in a positive CG flash, where electrons travel upward along the lightning channel and a positive charge is transferred to the ground (conventionally the current flows from the cloud to the ground). Positive lightning is less common than negative lightning, and on average makes up less than 5% of all lightning strikes. [73] A bolt from the blue lightning strike which appears to initiate from the clear, but the turbulent sky above the anvil cloud and drive a bolt of plasma through the cloud directly to the ground. They are commonly referred to as positive flashes, despite the fact that they are usually negative in polarity. Humans have deified lightning for millennia. Idiomatic expressions derived from lightning, such as the English expression "bolt from the blue", are common across languages. At all times people have been fascinated by the sight and difference of lightning. The fear of lightning is called astraphobia. Each re-strike is separated by a relatively large amount of time, typically 40 to 50 milliseconds, as other charged regions in the cloud are discharged in subsequent strokes. Re-strikes often cause a noticeable " strobe light" effect. [66] Lightning has been observed within the atmospheres of other planets, such as Jupiter, Saturn, and probably Uranus and Neptune. [127] Lightning on Jupiter is far more energetic than on Earth, despite seeming to be generated via the same mechanism. Recently, a new type of lightning was detected on Jupiter, thought to originate from "mushballs" including ammonia. [128]

A related term, heat lightning, is any lightning or lightning-induced illumination too far away for thunder to be heard. Heat lightning got its name because it is often seen on hot summer nights when thunderstorms are common. Cloud-to-Cloud (CC) Lightning (or intercloud lightning) Many factors affect the frequency, distribution, strength and physical properties of a typical lightning flash in a particular region of the world. These factors include ground elevation, latitude, prevailing wind currents, relative humidity, and proximity to warm and cold bodies of water. To a certain degree, the proportions of intra-cloud, cloud-to-cloud, and cloud-to-ground lightning may also vary by season in middle latitudes. Main article: Volcanic lightning Volcanic material thrust high into the atmosphere can trigger lightning. Large thunderstorms are capable of producing other kinds of electrical phenomena called transient luminous events (TLEs) that occur high in the atmosphere. They are rarely observed visually and not well understood. The most common TLEs include red sprites, blue jets, and elves. Lightning-induced magnetic anomalies can be mapped in the ground, [165] [166] and analysis of magnetized materials can confirm lightning was the source of the magnetization [167] and provide an estimate of the peak current of the lightning discharge. [168]If the volcanic ash plume rises to freezing temperatures, ice particles form and collide with ash particles to cause electrification. Lightning can be detected in any explosion but the causation of additional electrification from ice particles in ash can lead to a stronger electrical field and a higher rate of detectable lightning. Lightning is also used as a volcano monitoring tool for detecting hazardous eruptions. [125] Fire lightning Lightning strikes during thunderstorms kill more Americans each year than either tornadoes or hurricanes. Types of Lightning Lightning is looking very competitive in this next image again. That would again make it seem like he may be in an intense race, and that opens up so many possibilities. You also get to color smaller elements such as his eyes, lights and hood here, and there are some cool color details you could add to make these look even better. Fun fact: Aircraft pilots occasionally reported seeing lightning above storms for many years before researchers documented sprites and other TLEs with sensitive video cameras.

Although often assumed to be the same thing, there is a key distinction between lightning flashes and lighting strikes. A lightning flash is what you can see, but this is often made up of severalindividual lighting strokes which arepulses of current which occur separately if though only hundredths of a second apart. The term lightning 'strike' refers to cloud-to-ground lightning, where lightning 'strikes' the ground. A bolt from the blue This Lightning Bolt Colouring Sheet is a great way to develop a range of skills in young children. Completing it has a wide range of developmental benefits including:How do you think you will color the words? We would definitely recommend some more colored pens for those fiddly letters!
