Lightning - strange phenomena

Claystone, Saint Elmo's fire, black lightning strike commercial aircraft are the mysterious and rare phenomenon of nature that scientists are concerned about.

Extrinsic clay elves

Elves consist of light flashes in a millisecond and formed in the ionosphere above storm clouds about 60 miles (97 km). The term elves stands for "very low frequency irradiation and emission from electrical impulse sources". Light sources formed by collisions between electric molecules and nitrogen molecules can light up the entire night sky. Their color remains a question of science, but most people agree that it is red. A shuttle first discovered the Elves phenomenon off the coast of South America in 1990 and it rarely appeared. However, before observing Elves, the astronomers recognized their existence based on scientific theory.

Sprites

Lightning sprites are red flashes that appear on storm clouds and have many different shapes. Scientists inadvertently discovered this strange phenomenon in 1989 when researching data tapes from the shuttle. It appears quite short and resembles a glowing red jellyfish with an orange-red cloud forming the fringes underneath and a circle above. They usually appear at a distance of 80 km to 145 km above the ground. Scientists claim that lightning springs are one of the causes of accidental ineffective accidents of vehicles with higher activity range than storm clouds.

Black lightning

Black light consists of high-energy gamma rays that are so bright that they can only be seen from hundreds of kilometers above the outer space. They usually occur during storms, at elevated commercial aircraft operations. Scientists say that when the plane enters the storm zone, passengers and crew can receive up to 10 times more radioactivity than people suffer from X-rays. This level can be harmful to human health, especially for cancer patients. Many people may be victims of black lightning without knowing it. However, aircraft rarely hit black lightning, as the air traffic control station usually instructs the aircraft to avoid storms in bad weather.

Green clay

This strange phenomenon forms above storm clouds. It looks like a meteor and moves in the ionosphere about 40 km to 80 km from the ground. It only lasts a few milliseconds but is brighter than the Elves and Sprites.

Fire of Saint Elmo

The Saint Elmo fire is a phenomenon where plasma glows like fireballs on other objects. It was born in thunderstorms or a volcanic eruption. Many people also saw the Saint Elmo sparks coming from the wings as they moved in the storm zone.

This phenomenon is named after Saint Elmo, the sailor's guardian, who often appears in the sea, causing the sailors to fear. In many cases, due to the reaction between nitrogen and oxygen, Elmo also emits blue or violet light.
