How would the intense light from a massive thunderous lightning storm compare against regular daily sunshine in terms of the electrical current generated from a solar panel array? Just curious.
Intense light during a thunderstorm is produced by a process called lightning. When a storm forms, strong updrafts and downdrafts of air create electrical charges within the storm clouds. As the charges build up, they are discharged as a bolt of lightning, which produces a bright flash of light.
Yes, intense light from a thunderstorm can be dangerous. Lightning strikes can cause injury or even death to humans and can also damage buildings and start fires. It is important to take shelter indoors during a thunderstorm and avoid open areas or tall objects that may attract lightning.
The color of lightning can vary depending on a few factors, such as the composition of the air and the temperature of the lightning bolt. Generally, lightning appears as a bright white or blue color, but it can also appear as purple, red, or even green.
The intense light from a thunderstorm can be seen from a distance of several miles away. The actual distance depends on the strength of the storm and how clear the viewing conditions are. On a dark night, lightning can be seen from up to 100 miles away.
Scientists use meteorological data and advanced technology to predict when thunderstorms will occur. However, predicting exactly when and where lightning will strike is still a challenge. It is important to monitor weather forecasts and take precautions when a thunderstorm is expected in your area.
