Lightning will show up in lightning storms. Lightning storms usually occur in summer or warm places. The bolts will travel the shortest path they can so make sure you aren't near or are the tallest object around!

Friction happens between clouds, wind, air, etc... and the electrons in the cloud want to go to the positively charged ground. Air molecules are ripped apart creating an ion path which the electrons follow down in a huge energy release. The air not only lights up but also heats up.

Lightning only happen when there are thunderstorms.

___________

Positively charged particles in the atmosphere during the uprising and downdrafts of a thunderstorm cause small high speed collisions. When these collisions connect they form lightning that can connect Cloud to cloud, cloud to ground, or cloud to object (such as a plane)
