True or false lightning happens because of the release of static electrcity?
Lightning literally is static electricity. just like when your shock someone after walking in sock on carpet.. its the same transer of energy due to the clouds and the earth becoming electrically unbalanced. It is the same as when you rub your socks on a carpet and then touch someone.

Storing of electrons to be discharged by static electricity
Why do you get an electric shock if you touch a doorknob after walking across a carpet?
You build up static electricity by walking across the carpet. When you touch metal doorknob, it releases the stored energy.positive and negative charges. when you drag your feet against carpet you are negatively charged and so the door knob is positively charged so there fore causing an electric shock

What are 3 examples of static charges?
