As the water vapor goes higher in the sky, the air gets cooler. At this level, water vapors turn into water droplets and ice crystals and floating in the sky. These water droplets and ice crystals make up clouds. If they grow large enough they eventually become too heavy to stay in the air, falling to the ground as rain, snow, and other types of precipitation. The friction of the water droplets and ice particles in the cloud build up an electrical charge. The small ice crystals or water droplets become positively charged while the large ice crystal become negatively charged. As a result, the top of the cloud becomes positively charged, and, the middle to lower part of the cloud becomes negatively charged. When positive and negative charges grow large enough, a giant spark called lightning occurs between the two charges within the cloud. • Types of lightning: • Lightning can occur • -between opposite charges within the thunderstorm cloud (Intra-Cloud lightning) • and between opposite charges in the cloud (Cloud-to-Cloud lightning) • or from a cloud to the ground (Cloud-to-Ground lightning) • Intra-Cloud lightning: • It happens completely inside the cloud, jumping between different charge regions in the cloud. • Cloud-to-Cloud lightning: • It occurs between oppositely charged portions two separate clouds. It occurs between of the same cloud but sometimes it takes place between two separate clouds. • Cloud-to-Ground lightning: • It is an electrical discharge between opposite charges in the cloud and on the ground. • It can either occurs between negative charges in the cloud and positive charges on the ground • or between positive charges in the cloud and negative charges on the ground. • These positively charged water droplets or small ice crystals upward toward the top of the storm cloud, and, the larger and denser ice crystal is either suspended in the middle of the thunderstorm cloud or falls toward the lower part of the cloud. • Facts of lightning: • 1. Lightning can strike the same place twice or more. • 2. Lighting can be up to 90 miles long. • 3. More than 1 billion lightning strikes hit Earth annually. • 4. Most of the energy in a lightning strike is converted to thunder, heat, light and radio waves. • 5. Thunder can be heard as far as 10 miles from the lightning strike. • 6. A single lightning strike can power a 100 Watt light bulb for 90 days. • 7. A lightning bolt can reach a temperature of 53,540 degrees Fahrenheit whereas the surface of the Sun has a temperature of 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit. So, lightning is 5 times hotter than the Sun. • • Credit: • Light bulb: www.videezy.com
