When lightning strikes within one cloud, it is called intra-cloud lightning. This type of lightning occurs when the electric charge within a cloud becomes unbalanced and discharges within the same cloud, rather than traveling to the ground or to another cloud.
It's called in-cloud or cloud-to-cloud lightning.

Lightning is just really large static. Lightning between clouds is called cloud lightning or sheet lightning and is caused when one cloud has an excessive charge and another cloud has an excessive amount of the opposite cloud. The lightning is used to relieve the clouds charge.
When lightning strikes within one cloud, it is called intra-cloud lightning. This type of lightning occurs when electrical charges within the same cloud become imbalanced, leading to a discharge between different areas of the cloud. Intra-cloud lightning is the most common form of lightning, often appearing as flickering flashes of light.
When lightning strikes within one cloud, it typically occurs due to the buildup of electrical charges that separate within the cloud. This process creates a potential difference, leading to a discharge of electricity as lightning. The strike can manifest as a bright flash, and it usually travels between different regions of the cloud or between the cloud and the air. Such intra-cloud lightning is common and accounts for a significant portion of lightning activity.
The type of lightning that occurs within one cloud is called intracloud lightning (IC lightning). This phenomenon happens when electrical charges within the cloud become imbalanced, leading to a discharge of electricity that travels between different regions of the same cloud. Intracloud lightning is the most common type of lightning, often seen as bright flashes illuminating the cloud itself without striking the ground.
