The answers may well...
What triggers the bolt, says Follin, are particles in the secondary cosmic showers called muons, which increase the charge with fresh electron avalanches. Finally, electrons burst from the cloud along a path of ionized (electrically charged) air. As other muons intercept the path at different angles, forming new trails, the...
