Lightening - A Natural Phenomenon
Lightning Lightning, Thunder and Terror. It seems very interesting and thrilling when we see lightning during thunderstorms in the sky. Many people are afraid of lightning and thunder sounds. Here’s a shocking fact about lightning. “ Lightning is 3 times hotter than the outer surface of the Sun, which is known as Corona .” Isn’t that why whenever lightning falls on a tree, that tree gets burned up into charcoal. Lightning is generally lines of electrons or flow of electron from higher potential region to lower potential region that forms due to some static and dynamic charge distributions in our environment (atmosphere or near Earth’s surface). The flow of these electrons is very sudden and as the charge difference between two regions becomes zero or nearly zero, the lightning stops (here you have to use the algebraic sum, as charge is a scalar quantity). But there is a continuous dynamic charge allocation due to bad weather conditions. As the environment comes ...
