As we know,charged clouds(from which lightning stroke
initiates)may be charged with either +ve charge or -ve
charge.
Now say one cluster of cloude is fully charged with +ve
charge & another cluster is fully charged with -ve charge.
In the sky these two cluster of charged clouds have come in
such a distance that, if they come clouser by some few
yeards then the lightning discharge will take place between
these two cluster of clouds. Under such a situation an
Aircraft came inbetween. what happend??

Answer Posted / romeo

The clouds are always negatively charged body and the earth
as the positively charge body. When rain comes the
rainfalls (distilledwater) serve as the electrolyte or the
medium in between of these two charged bodies. In this
case, considering the enormous wideness of the area of
earth covered by clouds, a dielectric phenomena happens and
the cuurent travels from clouds to earth. That is what we
see as lightning.

Regarding of the plane, it serves as an incident
interrupter between these two electrically charged bodies.
Is there any news or event that a plane passes thru clouds
hit by lightning? None.
