Lightning occurs primarily due to the buildup of electrical charges in clouds during thunderstorms. As rising air and moisture create turbulence, positive and negative charges separate, leading to a significant voltage difference. When this difference becomes too great, a discharge occurs, resulting in a flash of lightning. Additionally, the rapid expansion of heated air creates the sound of thunder that accompanies the lightning strike.
