2. List of lightning phenomena - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lightning_phenomena

   Sheet lightning is cloud-to-cloud lightning that exhibits a diffuse brightening of the surface of a cloud, caused by the actual discharge path being hidden or too far away. The lightning itself cannot be seen by the spectator, so it appears as only a flash, or a sheet of light. The lightning may be too far away to discern individual flashes.

3. Upper-atmospheric lightning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper-atmospheric_lightning

   Representation of upper-atmospheric lightning and electrical-discharge phenomena Discovery image of a TLE on Jupiter by the NASA Juno probe. [1]Upper-atmospheric lightning and ionospheric lightning are terms sometimes used by researchers to refer to a family of short-lived electrical-breakdown phenomena that occur well above the altitudes of normal lightning and storm clouds.

   Lightning rods have been installed to divert strikes that could damage the statue. In fact, lightning struck right before the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, damaging the statue’s head and a fingertip.

5. Landscape photography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscape_photography

   Landscape photography (often shortened to landscape photos) shows the spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on human-made features or disturbances of landscapes.

6. Sprite (lightning) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(lightning)

   Sprites or red sprites are large-scale electric discharges that occur in the mesosphere, high above thunderstorm clouds, or cumulonimbus, giving rise to a varied range of visual shapes flickering in the night sky. They are usually triggered by the discharges of positive lightning between an underlying thundercloud and the ground.

7. Lightning strike - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_strike

   Lightning currents have a very fast rise time, on the order of 40 kA per microsecond. Hence, although lightning is a form of direct current, conductors of such currents exhibit marked skin effect as with an alternating current, causing most of the currents to flow through the outer surface of the conductor. [32]

8. Lightning-prediction system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning-prediction_system

   A Perry Weather lightning warning system. The detection equipment is designed to constantly survey atmospheric electrical activity and potential for lightning occurrence via radar and other methods. [citation needed] Storms are scanned by radar to determine the degree of electrification and potential for lightning occurrence. [citation needed]

9. Lightning injury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_injury

   Direct strike: lightning directly hits the person Orifice entry: may occur if lightning strike occurs near the head entering eyes, ears and mouth to flow internally; Side splash: lightning jumps from the location of primary strike to a nearby person; Contact injury: injury that occurs when a person is touching an object on the pathway of lightning
