How does Lightning occur​

Physics

When a storm is formed, the storm clouds contain negative charges and the ground is filled with positive charges. Similar to the way magnets work the two are attracted. The the collision of the two charges produce an electrical discharge.

I hope this helped!

Lightning is an electrical dis.charge caused by imbalances between storm clouds and the ground, or within the clouds themselves. Most lightning occurs within the clouds. This heat causes surrounding air to rapidly expand and vibrate, which creates the pealing thunder we hear a short time after seeing a lightning flash.

Why is sky blue and why moon appear in daytime​
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The sky is blue because of the tiny molecules in the air and we see the moon in the day because the light of the sun is reflecting off the moon

Explanation:

Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time. Closer to the horizon, the sky fades to a lighter blue or white.

We can see the moon during the day for the same reason we see the moon at night. The surface of the moon is reflecting the sun's light into our eyes. ... "When we see the moon during the day it's because the moon is in the right spot in the sky and it's reflecting enough light to be as bright, or brighter, than the sky."

HELP?!
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer is the highest temperature, so D

Higher temperatures allow for sound to move faster, since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. The speed of sound in room temperature air is 346 meters per second. This is faster than 331 meters per second, which is the speed of sound in air at freezing temperatures.

Neat little fact: This is also why in the winter when there is snow on the ground, it seems more peaceful and quite. The snow absorbs the sound waves and the temperature makes them not travel as fast, getting more quite as they go.
