Retold by Asia Autry & Hayden Bicknell Creation Of Lightning Once upon a time, there lived electrons and protons separated by the space between them. They were both living joyous ordinary lives. Until one day the malicious Gravitational Force(GF) monster came crashing down on the Electron's world. Creation Of Lightning Terrified, the Electrons were forced from their homeland “cloudville” and their only chance at survival was to flee to the other side of the cloud Proton’s “cloud dome” . Creation Of Lightning The Electrons pleaded with the Protons “We have nowhere to go, please let us stay here.” The Protons responded “Absolutely Not” and the battle between the two commenced. 500 million Protons faced off against 1 billion Electrons in a fierce battle with ice shards flowing through the clouds. Creation Of Lightning As soon as the Protons and electrons make contact a spark is lit within them and from then on lightning is born bouncing between Protons and Electrons and back up to the cloud until balance is restored. Wait that’s not right… Who’s right? The Greeks – The Chinese- Lighting is obviously the famous Lightning occurs when Dianmu weapon of the king of the greek The goddess of lighting would gods Zeus. Created by Cyclopes use a mirror to shine light upon and gifted to Zeus as gratitude earth when her husband god of for freeing them from the thunder Lei Gong would punish depths of tartarus, lightning is guilty mortals with his drum used as a symbol of Zeus’s and chisel. immense power. Wait that’s not right… Other Myths Myth 1: The Inca Myth- A brilliant man who lived in the upper world would show his power by sending lightning and thunder.
Myth 2: Japanese Myth- The Shinto is a depicted
demon that strikes a drum to create lightning and thunder.
Myth 3: African Tribe - Lightning is a sign of
anger of the gods to strike upon the enemies. Okay…. Here’s what we really know Technically none of this is wrong, but it isn’t right either. However here is what we can prove: For Real Lightning is…A giant spark of electricity which takes place either within the atmosphere or between the atmosphere and the Earth's surface.
Water and Ice droplets inside a cloud carry
electrons and protons. When too many electrons build up protons come up from the ground to help balance them out. For Real pt.2 Positive charges attract negative charges and vice versa this makes it difficult for electricity to move through the air. As clouds grow the Gravitational Force gets stronger and forces the atoms together. Eventually the charges over power the air and the clouds release a strong negative charge and as the current gets closer to the ground the positive charged current induces charge by pushing electrons down and away Creation Of Lightning When the current connects a bright flash is created that travels back up to the cloud.

How does the Plasma ball relate to lightning?
Its visual electricity, When the electricity is supplied, the plasma,which consists of positive ions and negative electrons emit current to create colourful tendrils of light.
