Jupiter Lightning 100x More Powerful Than Earth’s

Jupiter, the most massive planet in our solar system, has correspondingly humongous storms, some of which last for centuries. Some of these storms also generate terrific bolts of lightning, according to a new study by University of California, Berkeley scientists. Some flashes are 100 times more powerful than lightning on Earth – and possibly much stronger.

Good question,

We have,

Temperature
Voltage and Current:
Speed
Duration
Length
Energy Transfer
Structure

In terms of all of that

:)

The largest lightning strike on Earth with the;

Highest Temperature
Highest Voltage and Current:
Fastest Speed
Longest Duration
Longest Length
Highest Energy Transfer
Largest Structure

Now that I’m thinking about it 🤔, one lightning strike
might never have all of those properties all at once.

Here’s an interesting article about the physics of lightning 🌩

10 questions are put forward.

Reads questions, good questions, cough, I’ll give my question some more thought.

Also:

How much dependence is there on atmospheric composition and density?

Yes.

Lightning on different planets will be different in those aspects too.

Does Jupiter has sprites and other upper atmosphere phenomenon ?
