Lightning is basically the precursor of an electrical discharge -- positively-charged particles neutralizing negatively-charged in a violent manner. Before the charges neutralize, they travel a long distance through a high resistance (moist air). The heat of the current through the high resistance is so intense that the resulting radiation can be visible as the light in the night sky. Moving charges is electricity.
The Greeks discovered (2000 years ago) that you could rub certain materials against amber and the amber would hold a charge. Their word for amber was elektron.
in pure physics language flow of electron is called current and applied languges is refered as electrisity
