Answer: 360°

Explanation;

Lines of longitude are imaginary lines that used along with latitudes allow us to be able to locate points on Earth. Longitudes are drawn vertically on maps with the most popular one being the Prime( Greenwich) meridian.

As the Earth is spherical, the lines of longitude encircle the Earth which means that an entire longitudinal line will be 360°. As maps are flattened out, the longitudinal line is divided into 2 such that the longitudinal lines seen on a map are 180° each. When a line of longitude is added to its opposite, they will reform the original line that runs around the earth thereby making 360°.

Five causes of lightning and thunder​
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Atmospheric Static

Scientists are still trying to work out exactly how lightning forms, but we know it has something to do with the interactions between positive and negatively charged ions within clouds.

If you’ve ever walked across a carpet and then touched a doorknob only to get shocked, you’ve experienced a discharge of static electricity. Your movement across the floor generated a static (non-moving) electric charge, which looks for this first possible opportunity to escape and discharge. The same thing happens with lightning inside clouds, just on a much larger scale.

HARP: Another tool that causes Lighting and Thunder is HARP which is a government-managed tool, which they can make any type of weather happen artificially.
