the positive and negative charges in clouds are the protons and electrons formed from the friction of the water that condensated to make the cloud.
It is all due to the static current. In a cloud the negative charges are in bottom while the positive charges are in the top. It is same for all the clouds. Now there are clouds in the top as well bottom of the sky. Due to the atrraction between the negative and the positive charges both the clouds move towards each other with a very high speed. WHen they collide due to the very high speed, the small fraction of air present between gets heated and due to this heating it begins to glow. *The heat causes the electrons in the air molecules/atoms to become excited. They quickly release the energy by emitting light.
The ground receives negative charges that shoot up into the clouds which causes rain to happen.
Lightning is a collection of electricity caused by positive and negative charges in clouds. When the groups of charges travel through a cloud, one positive charge may hit a negative charge, thus creating lightning. Lightning can happen from cloud to ground, cloud to cloud, and above clouds. It is usually attracted to metal, water, wood, and other tall objects. When lightning strikes, it heats up the air to about the temperature of the Sun, or more. The air then explodes from all the heat which makes the sound of thunder. So, in other words, it is the cause of thunder.
Electrons move from areas of negative charge to areas of positive charge and produce an intense spark. Some lighting reaches Earth because negative charges at the bottom of storm clouds may cause the surface of Earth to become positively charged by induction.
Lightning is formed by particles in the clouds, that on the top forms a Positive charge, and on the bottom a Negative charge, these particles continue to form, and when there are to many particles in the clouds, some need to go, and when they go, they come out as Static electricity, which this is called Lightning, and the more particles there are, the more will need to be given, and that means the more lightning there is.
water droplets made of positive and negative charges.

False A+
The lighting is always a negative charge, but it can flow both from the clouds and down, as well as from the ground and up.
Eventually the two charges will have to balance out with what we call lightening?
the answer is both positive and negitive charges and that is because to make lighting it has to be positive and negitive charges because if there is both 2 negitive charges will both repel and the same thing will happen to positive charges but when positive and negitive charges and positive charges will attract
because of the negative force that has accumleated from manyyears in the clouds. then that negative charge dies
When negative and positive come to gether in the clouds.
There are two main sections of an atom: the nucleus and the electron clouds. The nucleus is made up of two subatomic particles called protons and neutrons. The electron clouds are made up of, you guessed it, electrons, which are stored in different orbitals orbiting the nucleus in different directions. Each of the subatomic particles has different charges. Protons have positive charges, electrons have negative charges, and neutrons are neutral, so they have no charge.

There is a negative and positive charge between the clouds or the sky and the ground. The positive charge is attracted to the negative. So positive begins to charge up before basically attacking the negative which is the ground.
