Ground typically has a neutral charge because it consists of a combination of positive and negative charges that cancel each other out.
The atom is neutral; the anion has the charge -1.
There is a negative and positive charge between the clouds or the sky and the ground. The positive charge is attracted to the negative. So positive begins to charge up before basically attacking the negative which is the ground.
The cloud's strong negative charge attracts the ground's positive charge
it carries off leaked current to ground in order to prevent that current from going thru you to ground, which can ruin your entire day.
Friction in the cloud creates static charge. Eventually the charge becomes big enough and 'jumps' to the ground.
When a conductor is connected to "ground," it becomes neutral and carries no charge.
When a charged object touches the ground, electrons can flow from the object to the ground or vice versa, depending on the net charge. This equalization of charges with the ground neutralizes the object, causing it to lose its charge.

To neutralize an electric charge, you can add an equal amount of opposite charge. For example, if something has a positive charge, you can neutralize it by adding negative charge until the total charge is zero. This can be achieved through mechanisms like grounding or using materials that can accept or donate electrons.
Electricity flows towards the ground because the Earth is a good conductor of electricity. When there is a difference in electrical charge between a high point and the ground, the electricity will flow towards the ground to balance out the charge.

You can't charge an object while holding it because you are grounding it by touching it. You ground it because a person is a conductor and they are conected to the ground, or earth.
Yes, it is possible to charge your phone in a room with no ground outlet available by using a portable charger or a power bank.
Actually it does BUT it also comes down from the clouds. Now A positive charge is sent up when the negative charge is sent down. They meet but we only see the one sent up because it is slower.
