10. The Connection Between Blue Lightning and Sprites
Usually connected with other high-altitude electrical events, especially sprites, blue lightning is Above thunderstorms, in the mesosphere, sprites are huge-scale electrical bursts. Although sprites themselves are usually red, occasionally they are accompanied by blue jets or tendrils of blue lightning rising from the top of thunder clouds.
The interaction between blue lightning and sprites offers important details on the vertical orientation of electrical fields in the environment. By use of these links, scientists can better grasp the intricate interactions among several layers of the Earth’s atmosphere and their function in worldwide electrical circuits.
