Question

Why is lightning always zigzag in shape

Answer 1

Answer:

It can just be a flash or it can strike with a straight or slightly bent bolt. The zig-zag pattern is due to the position of electrical particles that allows for the pattern. Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms.
