Electricity released which has built up in thunder clouds by evening?
The discharge of electricity built up during a storm can be dangerous. It is a static discharge that is generated by positive an negatively charged clouds. When these clouds come in close contact with each other there is an electrical static discharge. This is known as lightning.
How do you create static discharge?
In nature, a static discharge will be lightning. you can also create static discharge by rubbing your feet against a carpet and touching the door knob afterwards. You can feel the shock, which is a static discharge!!
Where does lightning originate?
Dog
The electrical discharge in lightning often occurs between cloud and ground?
The most common lightening occurs completely inside the cloud, called intra-cloud.
What are lightning bolts made of?
Lightning is a sudden, large discharge of electricity. It contains nothing but electrons and neutrons as a discharge of electrons from clouds to the ground. In other words, a giant spark of Electricity ! [Lighting--with no 'n' after the 't' is something that makes light, like a light bulb.]

The buildup of electrons in a cloud is a form of current electricity?
It is a form of static electricity.
What is lightening electricity?
Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge caused by unbalanced electric chargesin the atmosphere, and resulting in a strike, from a cloud to itself, a cloud to a cloud or a cloud to ground, and accompanied by the loud sound of thunder.
How you lightning is a form of static electricity?
Lightening is just a discharge taking place between charged clouds or in between a charged cloud and any charged region of the earth
Does static electricity exist in moving nebula cloud in outer space?
no
What is lighting and how is it produced?
Lightning is an example of an electrical discharge of static electricity. Static electricity is generated by moving air, and charges separate within clouds. As the charges separate, voltage builds. Eventually the voltage due to the massive charge separation overcomes the insulative properties of air and the air becomes ionized. Ionized air conducts electric current, and the bolt forms. It can be either from one cloud to another cloud, or can be between the cloud and ground.
What is an electrical discharge between parts of cloud or a cloud and the ground is called?
That's called 'lightning'.
How do the Japanese explain lightning?
Probably like most other humans, its massive static discharge from a large cloud.
Is cloud and ground charge after and during a lightning strike static electricity?
Before and after - yes, but not during.
Is lightning a buildup of light in a cloud?
No, lightning is a build up of static electricity. The lightning flash is a very short natural electrical discharge between the thunder clouds and the ground, or from cloud to cloud. The route taken by the lightning creates a vacuum, and the roll of thunder sound is the surrounding air crashing back to refill the vacuum.
