Abstract:In the atmosphere, after lightning, precipitation is formed and heavy rainfall occurs. This is a well-known process. This natural lighting phenomenon has been practically demonstrated in the laboratory cloud chamber, A laser beam has to be shot into the cloud region of the atmosphere to create high temperature. This high temperature will break the bonds of atmospheric N 2 and O 2 and produce N and O which will be in excited state (N*, O*). These excited N* and O* are very unstable. They immediately fall to the… Show more
