2,000 To 5,000 Per Second All Around The World
There are 2,000 to 5,000 thunderbolts per second in the world.
These events, which we could be afraid of when we were young, are essential for our Planet.
They allow the vegetation to grow. Their lightning can convert nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere to nitrate, which will be carried to the soil by the rain
Thunderstorms take shape in Cumulonimbus.
There are the biggest clouds on Earth. They can reach kilometers long, and up to 15–18km high. Which is the limit of the Troposphere, the part of the atmosphere where clouds can form.
They are identifiable by their anvil shape.
How Thunderstorms Happens
Clouds are made of water vapor. When the temperature is above 0°C, the H2O molecules condensate to become water droplets.
When the temperature is below 0°C, some molecules continue to form water droplets, while others create small ice crystals.
