Since opposites attract, an upward bolt is sent from the object to the sky. When the two paths meet, a return stroke bolts back up to the sky and that is the lightning that we see with our own eyes. ]]> 2022-01-20 16:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2003258224 hmm026 https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2003262790 2022-01-20 16:17:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2003262790 hmm026 https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2003274647 2022-01-20 16:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2003274647 hmm026 https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2003279808 2022-01-20 16:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2003279808 hmm026 https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2003287817 2022-01-20 16:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2003287817 hmm026 https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2003295284 2022-01-20 16:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2003295284 hmm026 https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2004003758 Lightning strikes when the positive energy from the sky meets with the negative energy from the ground. The flash of lighting that we see strike from the ground up happens the moment those two energies meet. If we look at the gif displayed here, we can see that positive energy that has been created by the storm creep down to the ground where it meets that negative energy and BLAST! There's the flash of lightning! ]]> 2022-01-20 23:51:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2004003758 hmm026 https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2004007288 2022-01-20 23:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2004007288 hmm026 https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2004007593 2022-01-20 23:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2004007593 hmm026 https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2004008627 2022-01-20 23:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2004008627 hmm026 https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2004010037 2022-01-20 23:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hmm026/f8yvgc09rbvvemsr/wish/2004010037
