Lightning occurs because there is a potential difference between the cloud and the earth. The process of
the charge on the cloud moving continuously regularly, during the movement of the cloud will interact
with other clouds so that the negative and positive charges will gather on each side.
If the potential difference between the cloud and the earth is large enough, there will be a discharge of
negative charges (electrons) from the cloud to the earth. The medium through which electrons pass is
air. When the electrons can penetrate the air ,there will be a sound explosion.
Lightning occurs during the rainy season, because there are clouds that are negatively and positively
charged. lightning can also accor betwen clouds with different potensial
