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 !

∙ 11y agoLightning bolts are energy, represented by the movement of large negative and positive charges.
Lightning bolts originate when a positively charged cloud forms a connection to another cloud that has a negative charge, or discharges to the ground. The lightning bolt's power is related to the size of the clouds. The bigger the clouds are, the more positive and more negative charges they contain, and may release into the nearest ground.

∙ 12y agoThere are several theories as to what causes lightning. The most widely accepted is that water and ice particles that are up in the storm cloud collide into each other. This causes friction. Friction thus in return, causes static electricity. This buildup of static electricity has to find an opposing electric charged object in order to discharge. This could be another cloud, an object on earth or the ground. A lightning bolt is a big static electric discharge. Lightning tries to find the path of least resistance to ground in order to discharge.

What is produced when static electricity is discharged in the air?
An atmospheric discharge of static electricity is called lightning.
Is lightning solid?
No. A bolt of lightning is made of plasma, which is ionized gas.
What object was the god Jupiter associated with?
Jupiter was commonly associated with his lightning bolts. His Greek equivalent was Zeus. The lightning bolts were made for him by the cyclopes.

How much bolts does lightning have?
5,000 bolts
Why aren't lightning bolts straight?
Lightning bolts are not straight because they are looking for the path of least resistance Lightning bolts want to find the path of least resistance so they can make it to the ground faster. Lightning bolts are zig-zag because they are finding the easiest path to the ground.
