Lightning

Yesterday we did weather presentations and our weather was lightning and we did a epic poster which we thing was great in our opinion, so here are some of the facts we put on it.

lightning is formed by tiny pieces of ice in a storm cloud that rub together that make a static charge which, when big enough will come down and strike the earth. Lightning can strike the earth millions of times per day with a charge that can be as powerful as 125 volts at speeds of up to 270,000mph.

Different types of lightning include sheet lightning and fork lightning. Sheet lightning takes up the whole sky in that area for a brief second whereas fork lightning shoots down to the ground in bolts or jagged lines.
