Ball lightning is a rare and mysterious atmospheric phenomenon that appears as glowing, spherical objects during thunderstorms. These luminous orbs can vary in size, typically ranging from a few centimeters to several meters in diameter. They are often reported to float or move erratically, sometimes passing through solid objects before disappearing.
Scientists have struggled to explain the exact cause of ball lightning, leading to various theories. Some suggest it may be related to electromagnetic fields or the combustion of certain gases. Despite numerous sightings, ball lightning remains poorly understood, and no definitive scientific consensus has been reached regarding its nature.
