As the name implies, a ribbon lightning is like a ribbon. It looks like a bright channel with no other branches. The third type of lightning is spherical lightning, which appears after linear lightning. Generally similar to a fireball, accompanied by red, yellow and green light, it will be accompanied by a violent explosion after disappearing.

The fourth kind of lightning is linked bead lightning, which is not easy to see at ordinary times, but appears immediately after linear lightning appears.
