yes
in a cumulonimbus cloud (a thunderstorm cloud) there are negative and positive charges. the ground is positive, the lower level of the cloud is negative and the upper level of the cloud is positive. When lightning is about to take place there is one path where negative and positive charges crossing, thus creating an electrical charge, in other works lightning.
lightning forms when negative charges drop to the lower parts of a cloud and positive charges build up on the ground below.
Positive is from cloud to ground. Negative is from ground to cloud.
Lightning is a collection of electricity caused by positive and negative charges in clouds. When the groups of charges travel through a cloud, one positive charge may hit a negative charge, thus creating lightning. Lightning can happen from cloud to ground, cloud to cloud, and above clouds. It is usually attracted to metal, water, wood, and other tall objects. When lightning strikes, it heats up the air to about the temperature of the Sun, or more. The air then explodes from all the heat which makes the sound of thunder. So, in other words, it is the cause of thunder.
Lightning is a sudden discharge of electrons from clouds to the ground. When storm clouds gather up lots of electrons, which are negative, the electrons are attracted to the ground's positive charge (opposites attract). The cloud's electrons build up so much that they leap to the ground in one stream, causing visible lightning.
Lightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground.

lightning cnat happen IN the earth only outside it because it needs positive and negative charges from the sky and ground
the charge of a lightning is positive and negative. The positive is on the top of a lightning cloud and the negative is surrounded on the bottom. As it flashes down it is a negative. However, the ground is a positive charge so as it reaches down, it turns into a positive charge. I hope this will answer you question

Lightning is caused by electric charges releasing energy. When the denser (positive charges) go to the top of the cloud, the less dense (negative charges) go to the bottom. This creates an electric imbalance of charges. In the ground, the negative charges are pushed away because the positive charges are attracted to the negative charges at the bottom of the cloud. If an object is in the way the lightning does what it has to to get to the ground, so it will get there faster. When the lightning is discharged you only glimpse it for a second until it disappears. It can travel 75 m/sec, so even though it creates light it is a release of energy so it doesn't travel at the speed of light.By Brian Hanglightning is not necessarily formed but is just a large build up of static electricity between a point on the ground and the storm cloud. Its when these plus and minus charges come together to form a lightning strike.Lightning is basically static electricity between the cloud and the ground. The cloud has too much of one charge (normally negative), while the ground has too much of the opposite charge (normally positive). The lightning bolt is the name of the electrical discharge between the two objects. It can also be between cloud-tree, cloud-car, or even (ouch!) cloud-human.Electricity in the air.
No. Fire is a combination of chemical and physical changes in which substances interact to release heat, light, smoke and ash. Lightning occurs when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground. In some instances, fire can be created by lightning.
Negative charge accumulates on the bottom of a cumulonimbus cloud and becomes attracted to the positive charge of the ground. When it overcomes air resistance, the charges shoot down. The lightning that you see is when the positive charge shoots back up into the cloud.
Yes, that is true. Lightning is a natural electrical discharge that occurs when there is a buildup and subsequent release of static electricity in the atmosphere. The discharge can happen between clouds, or between a cloud and the ground, resulting in the visible flash of light we see as lightning.
Positive is from cloud to ground. Negative is from ground to cloud.
