    Lightning is a sudden electric shock that strikes between clouds and the ground or between clouds at speeds up to the speed of light. It reaches temperatures of 34,000° Celsius, causing the surrounding air to expand with a loud explosion called thunder. When humid air rises into storm clouds, the moisture freezes into ice crystals that fall as rain, creating static electricity through friction. Fully charged clouds discharge the built-up electricity as lightning flashes.

    LIGHTNING

    Lightning is a sudden and very fast elecrtic shock that strikes between the
    cloud and ground or from cloud to cloud. The speed of lightning is as fast as the
    speed of light. It is so hot, with average temperatures of 34.000° Celcius, that
    the surrounding air suddenly expands with a loud explosion. The sound is called
    thunder.

    When rain storms, humid air is driven up to a great height. This is a type
    of cloud called cumulonimbus. When the cloud rises high enough, the moisture
    freezes and ice crystals are formed. They begin to fall, turning into rain on the
    way down. Friction between rain and air particles creates static electricity.
    When the cloud is fully charged with electricity, it will be discarded as a flash
    of lightning. So lightning suddenly appears with the rain, and it is very loud and
    luminous.
