A dart leader (also known as a continuous leader; may have been referred to by Feynman as a dark leader[citation needed]) is the cloud-to-ground movement of electrons which occurs just before a secondary lightning strike. The dart leader is similar to a step leader, because it is not as intense as the main strike, yet serves to ionize the air between the cloud and the ground, allowing electrical breakdown of the path of the lightning strike. Cumulus of fair weather Different cloud types A cloud is a visible mass of condensed droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body. ...
