Abstract
We consider the features of the mechanisms of the electric charging of dust particles, emergence of electric fields, and discharges in the atmospheres of planets and near the surface of the Moon. We find a significant difference in the nature of the influence of electric fields (discharges) on the vortex motions of two-phase (gas and dust) in the atmospheres of the planets and single-phase (dust) near the surface of the Moon.
