What color is lightning?

[TiTRD]

We just ate dinner outside and lightning rolled in. I see blue, she sees white. What do you see?

 

[Steve300xcw]

I see no lightning here

 

[M92PV4U]

White.

 

[TiTRD]

White.

Wrong lightning

That shit makes you blind.

Here… mostly bright white, sometimes it may have a little blue. When I was in Colorado, the lightning in the clouds had all kinds of colors

 

[SLOWPOKE693]

The correct answer would be electric blue.

 

[GonPostal]

From the internets. This I did not know

Typically, blue lightning within a cloud indicates the presence of hail. Red lightning within a cloud indicates the presence of rain. Yellow or orange lightning occurs when there is a large concentration of dust in the air. White lightning is a sign of low humidity or a little amount of moisture in the air

 

[SomeGuy]

Is the sky blue?

Same deal here, depending on how the light refracts through the atmosphere.

There is also red lightning. Those are called sprites. High altitude. Usually occurs 30 to 55 miles above earth.

 

[Captain Call]

Seen purple lightning before.

Lightning can appear in many colors, including white, blue, yellow, violet, red, pink, and green. The color depends on what the light passes through to reach your eyes, such as particles in the atmosphere like dust, moisture, raindrops, or snowflakes. These particles can absorb or scatter the light, causing the lightning to appear a different color. For example, during snowstorms, snowflakes can bend the light, making lightning appear more pink or green.

[Captain Call]

Does light bend? Or refract?

I'm pretty sure that it is from the movie "beer for my horses."

 

[ExWrench]

When it pops a transformer on a pole a half-block from where you're standing, it's a 15' bright orange ball w' a tall-ass white-blue mohawk

[Steve300xcw]

You race a honda. Yer standards arent that high

 

[SLOWPOKE693]

He said it's a "she" that he was discussing this with so that automatically means we are all wrong and she is right.

TiTRD...... Tell her she is 100% correct and that you were wrong to increase your chances of getting lucky tonight. Chick's will hold out on sex for retarded reasons like that from my experience so don't go and decrease your chances over the color of lightning.

You bought a bike nobody ever heard of who isn't a raging in the closet yuppie and are also proud of owning a 150 as a grown man. You think I take your opinion on these matters seriously?

I saw purple in the desert during a wicked thunderstorm. It was night and we were pulling off some...less than legal...shenanigans on the highway.

 

[planefixer]

I usually see white lightning, sometimes blue, sometimes red/orange.
