Why does upwards lightning use only one path but downward lightning uses multiple paths?

1. Understanding Lightning Formation and Types Lightning is a powerful atmospheric electrical discharge that occurs during thunderstorms. It is a fascinating natural phenomenon that has fascinated scientists and researchers for centuries. Lightning can occur in two main forms: downward lightning, which travels from the cloud to the ground, and upward lightning, which travels from tall

Unveiling the Enigmatic Phenomenon: Categorizing Earth’s High-Speed ‘Ball’ of Light

Understanding High-Speed Balls of Light in Lightning Lightning is a fascinating natural phenomenon that has fascinated scientists and researchers for centuries. The intricate details of lightning formation and behavior continue to be studied, and one fascinating aspect is the occurrence of high-speed “balls” of light in lightning discharges. These balls of light, often referred to
