What is the name of a regular rain or snow cloud?
A regular rain or snow cloud is commonly known as a cumulonimbus cloud for rain and a nimbostratus cloud for snow.
Is the cirrus cloud the highest cloud?
No, the highest cloud is the noctilucent cloud, which forms in the mesosphere. Cirrus clouds are high altitude clouds, but not the highest.
What is it called when lighting strikes within one cloud?
When lightning strikes within one cloud, it is called intra-cloud lightning. This type of lightning occurs when the electric charge within a cloud becomes unbalanced and discharges within the same cloud, rather than traveling to the ground or to another cloud.
What is the charge on the cloud or shell of the atom?
The charge on the electron cloud or shell of an atom is negative. Electrons, which are negatively charged particles, are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom.
Is it possible for sheet lighting to strike a person?
Not likely... Sheet lightning is 'cloud-to-cloud' discharges. The fact that the 'flash' is hidden within the cloud makes the whole cloud appear to light up.
