<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">The weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - in light of the mild <strong>weather</strong> on the surface of the earth and its being excellently suitable for the life of living organisms in general, the weather of this planet sometimes appears with extreme manifestations underlying <strong>scientific facts</strong> that make us feel shocked by the extent of their severity.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Not to mention snow and sand storms, sweeping floods, and the extension of extreme cold or extreme heat in the poles and deserts. Lightning flashes appear as one of the most extreme forms of weather, due to its extreme temperature. How hot is the lightning?</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The fact is that the air temperature surrounding the lightning bolt is approximately 29,700 degrees Celsius! Imagine that! And it&#39;s a temperature of 5 times the surface temperature of the sun! And let us not confuse the surface temperature of the sun, which is about 6,000 degrees Celsius, and the temperature of the interior of the sun, which is more than 15,000,000 degrees Celsius.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>But where does all this thermal energy come from?</strong></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> When analyzing the chain of processes that occur in order for lightning to occur, you must note that everything starts from the sun, where the sun&#39;s rays raise the surface temperature on Earth, which leads to the rise of warm surface air to the top because it becomes less dense, and with the coincidence of the presence of moisture In the layers of the atmosphere, moisture also rises and condenses when it touches the cooler air at the top to become clouds, and through these circular processes, and the continuous movement of air inside the clouds, the creation of a strong electric field in the sky becomes possible, which may generate rapid movement Too many electrons within a channel of air, which generates a very hot flash we call lightning!</p>
