Can temperatures on earth be hotter than the sun?

Post by Maria »

HOTTER THAN THE SUN: Everyone knows that lightning loves heat. Summertime air, warm and laden with moisture, rises into the sky. Airborne droplets of water and other hydrometeors rub together, creating static electricity in much the same way as woolen socks rubbed against carpet. The charge builds until ... this:

"The sky erupted," says photographer Nunzio Micale, who took this picture on June 6th from Vieste(FG), ITALY. "I opened the shutter for 30 seconds and the heavens were filled with electricity."

The blue color of the bolts in Micale's picture is not a digital accent; it's an authentic sign of incredible heat. Electric currents in lightning can heat the air to 30,000o C or more, far hotter than the 5,500o C surface of the sun. The high temperature of the lightning's plasma (ionized air) gives it the same blue color as a massive newborn O-type star. That's hot.

If a bolt of blue lightning struck something or someone, that would be considered to be an act of God.

And then there is talk that the U.S. Government has a plasma weapon.
If so, that weapon could destroy a ship, a plane, or take out a building or two.

And another thought, could these plasma bursts be causing some of this "global warming?"

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Wow! I did not know that. That is hot when we start talking about blue stars.

Take a look at this video from the Weather Channel.

Sometimes, I have posted Weather Channel videos, only to discover that within a week, they are no longer available.

If you take a closer look, you will see the blue plasma lightning strikes. Is this a new phenomenon or has earth always had this blue plasma lightning?

And below is a pdf describing plasma lightning.

If you do a google search or duckduckgo.com search (it will not track you), you can see that companies are offering gadgets that purport to have blue plasma. I do not recommend buying one of these as LEDs and other commercial light bulbs can induce macular degeneration if you stare at them for any length of time.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
