Question

I NEED 4 SOLID PARAGRAPHS ABOUT:

Discuss the nature of lightning and how it relates to the earth’s weather. Provide details on the electrification of clouds the generation of positrons (anti-matter) and the conditions and steps on how lightning reaches the ground.

Answer 1

Ans:

Lightning is a big spark of electricity in the atmosphere between clouds, air, and the ground. Where air acts as an insulator between the positive and negative charges in the cloud and between the cloud and the ground. When the opposite charges builds up enough, this insulating capacity of the air breaks down and there is a rapid discharge of electricity is know as lightning. Lightning can occur between opposite charges within the thunderstorm of cloud or between opposite charges in the cloud and on the ground.

Everything is made of atoms that are made charged particles, all charged particles come in one of two types positive and negative (or plus and minus). The minus particles are the electrons, and the plus particles are the much heavier protons which are buried deep in the nucleus.

When you bring two charged objects near each other, something happens. If two charges have the same sign (plus and plus, or minus and minus), they will repel each other. Two charges with opposite signs will attract. The size of the electrical force depends on two things are how highly charged the objects and the distance between them.

Ground is strong negative charges build up and some positive charges occurs in the earth, but cloud have majority positive charges particles and some negative charges occurs. When thunderstorm hits the ground all negative charges placed in ground and all positive charges in cloud. Lightning ranges in length from 500 feet to more than two miles. Its width varies form ⅓ inch to a foot at the strokes peak. Lightning can reach temperatures of up to 54,000 degrees F. The speed of the pilot stream speed is 0.05 the speed of light. The return streamer speed is 10 percent of the speed of light.
