Best Answer

They are two different words with different meanings. Lightning is the flashes in the sky you see in a storm. Lightening is the act of making something lighter, as in not as heavy or not as dark. So you see a flash of "lightning" and you can be "lightening" a load by removing some items that you are carrying.
