Lightning

Lightning is one of the world’s most beautiful phenomenons. Lightning is produced when the friction in the cloud starts to charge parts of the cloud. As the clod approaches earth objects on the surface become negatively charged. Since negative and positive charges attract, the negative charge moves towards the ground just as the positive charge from the ground moves up to meet it. Objects on the ground reach out to the cloud by a positive “streamer.” From this meeting an electrical discharge happens several times, this produces lightning and thunder.
