    Nature, as a mysterious being, is the foundation of each of us. Nature is an organic whole, and its diversity and complexity are unpredictable, but in fact, there are objective laws to follow for the occurrence of each of its phenomena. But with our irregular activities, its original laws are gradually destroyed, and even some incredible things appear.

    Lightning is a natural phenomenon that is common in nature. Generally in the summer, when there is thunder, we will see the occasional flash of light accompanied by thunder, which is what we usually call lightning. From a scientific point of view, the phenomenon of strong electrical discharge between clouds, between clouds and the ground, or between parts of the cloud body is called lightning.

    Generally in hot areas we can see "lightning", so it is not surprising. However, lightning is rare in extremely cold places like the Arctic.

    However, just this month, an American magazine reported 48 "lightning phenomena" in an icy region about 500 kilometers from the North Pole. However, according to a report from a meteorological department in Alaska's Fairbanks area, in the past, because of the cold and dry climate conditions in the Arctic, lightning generally did not occur, let alone dozens of lightning strikes, so the area 500 kilometers from the North Pole was previously considered to be a place where lightning did not occur at all.

    But the satellites have clearly recorded the fact of lightning in the Arctic region. So how should we explain the emergence of this scientific phenomenon? According to climate experts, the most likely cause of this is global warming, with global temperatures generally rising.

    In this month, according to the data of the World Meteorological Organization, we ushered in the hottest summer in 140 years since 1880. This heat wave has swept the world, causing glaciers in the north and south poles to melt, and the frequent lightning in the Arctic is also inseparable from the high temperatures that are common around the world.

    The global high temperature means that the phenomenon of climate warming is becoming more and more serious, which means that we will face more unsolvable problems, and even more and more natural disasters will occur frequently, and our most basic lives will be threatened, which is undoubtedly a common concern of all countries in the world and all mankind.

    The flashes may have something to do with the record-breaking heat in July, when temperatures in the Arctic were rising, triggering thunder and lightning.

    It could be a refraction outside the universe, or it could be a natural phenomenon.

    These flashes may have something to do with the record-breaking heat in July this year.

    Lightning strikes in the Arctic during the summer months are very rare because it is possible that the air is usually too cold and dry to form large storm clouds that can create thunder and lightning.

    Temperatures in the Arctic are also rising, triggering thunder and lightning.

    Flashes of light can be said to be one of the more common natural phenomena in nature.

    The Arctic is also too hot because of global warming.

That is true. The satellite accelerates at the Q point of the 1 orbit, at this moment, the tangential velocity of the satellite at the Q point increases, according to Newton's second law, the centripetal force is no longer enough to bind the satellite, so the satellite will undergo centrifugal phenomena and enter the 2 orbit. >>>More
