A giant spark that flashes across the sky. Each bolt zigzags through the air at many thousand of miles (kilometers) a second! Its electrical charge of about 100 million volts would be enough to light a small town for a whole year! The charge comes from tiny drops of water or ice that bump and rub within huge, towering cumulonimbus clouds. When the charge gets big enough, it creates the lightning. Bolts jump between the cloud and the ground or between two clouds.

Do electricity come from the sky?
Electricity in the sky is 'static electricity', which shows itself as thunder and lightening. It is caused by warm air and particles forming clouds, rubbing against each other. This tranfers charge from one to another. This builds up an excess of charged particles. When the voltage between them gets too high, the air breaks down between them, causing a surge of electricity as a balance is acheived between them.
