Lightning discharges are typically miles long, but certain types of horizontal discharges can be upwards of tens of miles in length.

High-voltage lightning discharges in the atmosphere of Jupiter are thought to be the source of the planet's powerful radio frequency emissions.
13.
Typically, lightning discharges 30, 000 amperes, at up to 100 million volts, and emits light, radio waves, x-rays and even gamma rays.
14.
The resulting graphic varies in size and shape as a function of the potential, polarity, and wave shape of the captured lightning discharge.
15.
An example is " gamma rays " from lightning discharges at 10 to 20 MeV, and known to be produced by the bremsstrahlung mechanism.
16.
Telephones, modems, computers and other electronic devices can be damaged by lightning, as harmful overcurrent can reach them through the " positive " lightning discharges.
17.
Probable cause was the disabling of the pilots by a severe lightning discharge close to the plane, which caused a sudden dive from, killing all 25 aboard.
18.
The process extends to huge sparks streamers in lightning discharges propagate by formation of electron avalanches created in the high potential gradient ahead of the streamers'advancing tips.
19.
The total number of lightning discharges on 9 June was more than 64, 000 in the Netherlands, such a number is on average only seen once per summer season.
20.
A "'radio atmospheric signal "'or "'sferic "'( sometimes also spelled " spheric " ) is a broadband electromagnetic impulse that occurs as a result of natural atmospheric lightning discharges.
