Heavier, negatively charged particles sink to the bottom of the cloud. When the positive and negative charges grow large enough, a giant spark - lightning-occurs between the 2 charges within the cloud. This is like a static electricity sparks you see, but much bigger.

The answer would be C. Lightning occurs when the negative charges from clouds attract towards the positive charges on the ground. These two charges attract and cause the spark of lightning. Hope this helps.

What is the phase of the Moon if it . . .
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Waxing Gibbous

Third quarter

Waning Gibbous

Explanation:

If moon rises at 3:00 pm then the phase of the moon will be "Waxing Gibbous".

This is because, the moon is actually not fully illuminated but has achieved more than half of its full illumination.

If the moon is highest in the sky at sunrise then the phase of the Moon will be the "Third quarter"

This is because of the fact that at this position moon will rise at midnight, thus it will be at the highest point at the time of the sunrise.

If the moon sets at 10:00 am then the phase of the Moon is "Waning Gibbous"

This is because of the fact that at this position the Moon is moving towards becoming new Moon but at the same time,  the moon is illuminated more than its half illumination.
