Even though it is nearly 100 km away, it is still possible to observe this unique shaped cloud. The pea cloud is formed when the wind blows through the hills, when the air achieves the proper moisture, creating ripples that have a special shape for the clouds.

Due to the special shape, many people mistook it for an alien flying saucer.

The Catatumbo lightning only appears on the Catatumbo river in Venezuela. Here, this phenomenon can occur up to 160 days in a year and each occurrence lasts up to 10 hours.

This phenomenon occurs when cold, warm water meets and releases methane. This gas increases the electrical conductivity of clouds on it.

The blue lightning that we often see comes from being negatively charged and in the form of a blue light pulse. Sprites are created by the positive charge between the cloud and the ground. They appear above storm clouds at a distance of 80km to 145km above the ground, with many different shapes and only last for a few seconds.

5. Saint Elmo's fire
