Subject: re: Lightning colours post id: 1805847
Lightning is usually colourless but various things determine the apparent colour of lightning. The main one is distance. The longer the path of the light from the lightnintg through the atmosphere, the redder the stroke seems. In photographs of multiple lightning strikes, the nearest and furthest can be deternined by the colour of the strike.
Different particulate matter in the atmosphere also affects the colour of the lightning and there is some colour variation, but not a lot, from the temperature of the discharge. I have seen yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue and green lightning at various times. You will see more colours if you photograph it at night.
Weet niet hoe goed je engels is?
Maar komt dus door afstand die bliksem door de atmosfeer aflegt blijkbaar, gecombineerd met 'rommel' in de lucht en de temperatuur
