the more educated word for fireball
What is the scientific name for the word fireball?
This is not a Botany question! :)
Reply:Oddy i've heard fireballs called "ball lightning" (although it refers to a jet of lightning that looks like a ball of fire because it's ionizing the air or something), i've also heard "conflagration" although it refers more to a fire that destroys things.
Hope that helps!
Reply:Several interpretations of "fireball":
primordial fireball ( associated with the beginning of the universe )
brilliant meteor
ball lightning
highly luminous cloud ( spherical cloud ) of vapor and dust created by a nuclear explosion
highly energetic person ( human dynamo, miracle worker )
Historical: a firebomb, a ball of explosive or combustible material thrown as a weapon in battle
PS
Finally I found a plant named fireball, NEOREGELIA SCHULTSIANA
