How can you have thunderstorms without lightning?

Thunderstorms typically include lightning as a result of electrical discharge between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. However, in some cases, thunderstorms can occur without visible lightning due to certain weather conditions, such as the absence of sufficient charge separation or the lightning occurring within the cloud itself, known as "intra-cloud" lightning.


Does northern light and lightning are the same?

No, the northern lights are a phenomenon that typically occurs in the thermosphere, the second highest layer of the atmosphere. The northern lights are colorful curtains of light caused by charged particles from the sun being channeled into the upper atmosphere near the north magnetic pole by the planet's magnetic field, these particles then interact with gasses in the thermosphere to produce light in various colors. Lightning is a phenomenon that occurs in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere. Lightning is a massive discharge of static electricity that results from interactions of ice crystals and water droplets in thunderstorms. More rarely lighting can occur in the ash cloud of a volcanic eruption.
