Double ZapperYes. In fact, visible lightning usually comes up from the ground into the cloud! The lightning bolt is actually retracing a path of weak electricity that the cloud sent down as a sort of "feeler" sensing for the shortest path to take to the ground. So if you're in an open space during a lightning storm, and you feel your hair stand up from static electricity, you might want to run for cover!
The type of lightning that branches across the sky is called "forked lightning." This occurs when the lightning bolt splits into multiple branches as it travels through the atmosphere, creating a stunning visual display in the sky. Forked lightning is a common sight during thunderstorms and is caused by the electrical discharge seeking the path of least resistance.

When lightning strikes within one cloud, it is called intra-cloud lightning. This type of lightning occurs when the electric charge within a cloud becomes unbalanced and discharges within the same cloud, rather than traveling to the ground or to another cloud.

Sky lightning is more commonly known as a lightning bolt or simply lightning.
