Best Answer

The clouds are charged with a negative pole which has sub - atomic particles called electrons. And the ground is charged with a positive pole. If you think in the Earth as a giant magnet, the positive charge from the ground starts to attract the negative charged from the clouds.

The energy is released in seconds and when it is too strong you can see a lighting in the sky coming down to the ground.
