Best Answer

Lightning appears when condensed water (think of clouds) turns into ice crystals and water droplets, and wind smashes this together, because of this energy the wind puts in this hail, positive and negative particles are separated. When there is enough of a charge difference lightning strikes either moving from one part of the storm to another or hitting the ground. Thunder is the sound produced by lightning. It occurs as the lightning instantaneously heats the air to tens of thousands of degrees. The air expands rapidly and sends out a shockwave.
