The energy behind thunderstorms and lightning,

It is time for all of us to see the energy of weather in a different dimensional truth. The earth-atmosphere electrical balance would literally disappear in five minutes without lightning kissing the earth.  Lightning makes ozone-producing chemicals that are necessary for earth’s survival. A single bolt of lightning contains five billion joules of energy, enough to power a household for a month. The energy of a thunderstorm equals that of an atom bomb.

Pure lightning bolts are blue-white; Blue lightning bolts are the hottest lightning bolts to occur on earth.  Some studies have speculated that lightning activity played a crucial role in the development of Earth's early atmosphere and early life itself. Lightning, a non-biological process, has been found to produce biologically useful material through the oxidation and reduction of inorganic matter.

There has been some evidence that cosmic rays from space may be able to spark lightning in earths thunderclouds. They hypothesize that thunderclouds' full of highly electrically charged water droplets and ice nuggets will allow even the weakest of cosmic rays to spark a bolt of lightning when it comes in contact with such a cloud. It was first suggested about 25 years ago the connection between cosmic rays and lightning strikes. Cosmic rays may cause a “runaway breakdown” of electrons when they collide with highly charged particles in thunderclouds

Finally X-ray emissions detected from lightning bolts have provided ‘confirmation’ that lightning does indeed come from outer space. Literally lightning does have extraterrestrial origin. These cosmic particles strike Earth with enormous amounts of energy surpassing anything on earth, even the particle colliders.
