DeityA deity is a supernatural being considered to have authority over some aspect of the universe and/or life, with many also being considered as sacred and worthy of worship. It is "a spirit or being believed to have created, or to control some part of the universe or life, for which such a deity is often worshipped". The Oxford Dictionary of English explains deity as anything revered as divine.
Sky deityDeity associated with the sky Jupiter, the sky father of Roman religion and mythology. A sky deity is a deity associated with the sky, and are a common feature of polytheistic religions, and as hypothesized by Wilhelm Schmidt potentially early forms of monotheism. The sky often has great religious significance. The daytime sky deities are typically distinct from the nighttime ones.
LightningWeather phenomenon involving electrostatic dischargeNot to be confused with lighting or thunder."Lightening" redirects here. For other uses, see wikt:lightening.Strokes of cloud-to-ground lightning strike the Mediterranean Sea off of Port-la-Nouvelle in southern France.Lightning is a natural phenomenon consisting of electrostatic discharges occurring through the atmosphere between two electrically charged regions.
StormA storm is any disturbed state of the natural environment or the atmosphere of an astronomical body.WeatherWeather is the state of the Earth's atmosphere at a specific place and time, typically described in terms of temperature, humidity, cloud cover, and stability. On Earth, most weather phenomena occur in the lowest layer of the planet's atmosphere, the troposphere, just below the stratosphere.ThunderThunder is the sound caused by lightning. Depending upon the distance from and nature of the lightning, it can range from a long, low rumble to a sudden, loud crack. The sudden increase in temperature and hence pressure caused by the lightning produces rapid expansion of the air in the path of a lightning bolt. In turn, this expansion of air creates a sonic shock wave, often referred to as a "thunderclap" or "peal of thunder".

RainRain or rainfall is a form of atmosphericprecipitation composed of droplets of wateraerosols that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and fall by gravity. Depending on the intensity, rain can be described as a drizzle (very light, sporadic rainfall), a shower (brief, moderate rainfall), a cloudburst (brief heavy rainfall) or a downpour (prolonged heavy or "torrential" rainfall).
WindNatural movement of air or other gases relative to a planet's surfaceCherry tree moving with the wind blowing about 22 m/sec (about 79 km/h or 49 mph)Sound of wind blowing in a pine forest at around 25 m/sec, with gust alterationsWind is the natural movement of air or other gases relative to a planet's surface.
SnowSnow is a form of solid atmospheric precipitation consisting of individual ice crystals that grow while suspended in the air—usually within clouds—and then fall, accumulating on the ground, where they undergo further changes.
TornadoA tornado, also known as a twister, is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends vertically from the surface of the Earth to the base of a cumulonimbus or cumulus cloud. Tornadoes are often (but not always) visible in the form of a condensation funnel originating from the cloud base, with a cloud of rotating debris and dust close to the ground.
Atlantic hurricaneAn Atlantic hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone that forms in the Atlantic Ocean primarily between June and November. These storms are continuously rotating around a low pressure center, which causes stormy weather across a large area, which is not limited to just the eye of the storm. They are organized systems of clouds and thunderstorms that originate over tropical or subtropical waters and have closed low-level circulation.
SkyThe sky is an unobstructed view upward from the surface of the Earth. It includes the atmosphere and outer space. It may also be considered a place between the ground and outer space, thus distinct from outer space. In the field of astronomy, the sky is also called the celestial sphere. This is an abstract sphere, concentric to the Earth, on which the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars appear to be drifting.*As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
