Standing approximately 5 ft 5 in (166 cm) tall, [4] Raiden Shogun is a woman with, pale skin, bluish purple hair that forms a long braid, and bangs above her eyes. Raiden Shogun's design takes elements from Japanese culture, specifically Raijin, Japan's god of lightning, reflected not only in the character's name but also her abilities. [9]
When a sufficiently large positive lightning strike carries charges to the ground, the cloud top is left with a strongly negative net charge. This can be modeled as a quasi-static electric dipole and for less than 10 milliseconds a strong electric field is generated in the region above the thunderstorm.
The presence of fulgurites in an area can be used to estimate the frequency of lightning over a period of time, which can help to understand past regional climates. Paleolightning is the study of various indicators of past lightning strikes, primarily in the form of fulgurites and lightning-induced remanent magnetization signatures. [1]
Illustration of St. Elmo's fire on a ship at sea Electrostatic discharge flashes across the windscreen of a KC-10 cockpit.. St. Elmo's fire (also called witchfire or witch's fire) [1] is a weather phenomenon in which luminous plasma is created by a corona discharge from a rod-like object such as a mast, spire, chimney, or animal horn [2] in an atmospheric electric field.
The odds of being struck by lightning for over the period of 80 years have been roughly estimated as 1:10000. [12] If the lightning strikes were independent events, the probability of being hit seven times would be (1:10000) 7 = 1:10 28 or 1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1 in 10 octillion). These numbers do not quite apply to ...
Both the Lightning and the Panthers were born out of the National Hockey League's expansion into the southeast in the early 1990s. Aside from a few abortive attempts to bring minor league hockey to Florida (the Tropical Hockey League of the 1930s, and Jacksonville Rockets and Barons of the 1960s/70s); these were the first professional hockey franchises in the Sunshine State.
