Lightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground.

What cloud is lightning formed in?
Lightning typically forms in cumulonimbus clouds, also known as thunderclouds. These clouds are characterized by their towering height and are associated with intense thunderstorms that can produce lightning bolts.
Why does lightning form?
a lightning form when cold air mass pushes warm air mass up because of this hard reaction it forms lightning. this is called cold air mass.
How many names are there for the form of lightning?
There are several names for different forms of lightning, including forked lightning, sheet lightning, ball lightning, and ribbon lightning. Each type of lightning is characterized by its appearance and behavior during a thunderstorm.
Where in the world does lightning form?
It forms on Earth and various planets outside the atmosphere.
Does lighting hit something everytime it strikes?
Lightning does not hit something every time it strikes. There are various forms of lightning. Lightning that is classified as "cloud to ground" lightning will strike something in it's path. Another form of lightning is sheet lightning. This type of lighting illuminates the sky and spreads from cloud to cloud.
What is the Weakest lightning bolt?
It's challenging to quantify the weakest lightning bolt, as lightning bolts can vary greatly in intensity. However, a "stepped leader" is one of the initial stages of lightning formation and could be considered one of the weakest forms of lightning discharge.
How is sound created during a lightning storm?
Lightning is a form of energy, it builds up in the clouds and when it is released you see the energy but the sound forms because the lightning has so much energy it splits the air molecules.
What causes the electric current that result in lightning?
Lightning is caused by a buildup of electrical charge in clouds. When the charge difference between the clouds and the ground becomes large enough, a lightning bolt is discharged to balance the charge. This sudden flow of electricity forms the lightning seen in the sky.
