The electrified air present b/w the two oppositely charged clouds makes the rapid flow of charges b/w the two oppositely charged clouds.
Particle movement in clouds causes a massive creation of charge. So, the clouds are charged. When these charged clouds come close to other charged objects, like other clouds, the ground, trees, etc. Current travels to the clouds. Sound is slower than light, so a booming noise comes some seconds after the lightning.
I think they might get heavily charged.^_^
When two heavy rain clouds rub together it creates static electricity
i think the trees and the ground may have a neutral charge bfore clouds form then they become positively charged when negative charges form at the lower portion of the cloud.
electrons
Cumulus clouds become Cumulonimbus (dark towering clouds) when enough water vapor condenses in the same spot.
by the water cycle u stupid noob
The clouds will become lighter.
Objects become positively charged if they lose electrons. They become negatively charged if they gain electrons.
They become negatively charged when a electron gain electrons and they become positively charged when lose electrons.
