As far as I know, the colour of black body depends on its temperature; sun with its tamperature 6000K is yellow. So if one lightning is hotter than another, shoudn't it has some different colour?mgb_phys said:Lightning is just the air heated to extreme temperatures so is mostly a black body.
Yes, lightning can appear in different colors depending on various factors such as the temperature and composition of the air, the distance from the observer, and the type of lightning.
The color of lightning is determined by the gases and particles in the atmosphere that the lightning passes through. Different gases and particles can emit different colors when excited by the electric current of lightning.
Lightning can appear in a variety of colors including white, yellow, orange, red, blue, and purple. However, these colors are often just variations of white and are influenced by the gases and particles present in the atmosphere.
The color of lightning does not make it more or less dangerous. All types of lightning can be dangerous and should be avoided. It is important to seek shelter during a thunderstorm and follow lightning safety precautions.
Yes, it is possible to artificially color lightning using specialized equipment. This is often done for entertainment purposes or scientific experiments. However, artificially colored lightning does not occur naturally and does not represent the true colors of lightning in nature.
