• What are the types of lightning?

Cloud-to-ground lightning is the most dangerous, it strikes from the clouds all the way down to the ground. Most cloud to gound ligghtning comes from negatively charged bottom of the cloud traveling to the positevly charged ground below. Cloud- to- ground lightning strikes the highest objects such as trees and towers high in the air, it causes property damage and froest and wild fires. Forked lightning in my opinion is the coolest one to see, they appear as jagged lines of lightning. They can have several branches. They can be seen striking from cloud to ground, cloud to cloud or even cloud to the sky. Sheet lightning is lightning in the air that lights up the whole cloud and the night time sky. Ball lightning is probably the most rare type of lightning. It usually appears as a reddish, luminous ball, but can be seen in any color. Hissing noises originate from such balls amd they sometimes make loud noises when the explode. There are many more types of lighning but these are just a few.
