Venus experiences thunderstorms akin to Earth, proposing a new, eye-opening theory: the mesmerizing flashes of light on Venus are not lightning but meteors disintegrating as they hurtle through the planet's atmosphere. This groundbreaking revelation comes courtesy of a study published in the 'Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.'
