Electrons would flow from the ground, into the positively charged object.
When a positively charged object is grounded, electrons from the ground are free to move onto the object. These electrons neutralize the positive charge by transferring to the positively charged object, allowing the excess electrons on the object to flow into the ground. This flow of electrons equalizes the charge between the object and the ground.
When an object is charged by induction, electrons flow from the ground onto the object, neutralizing the charges between the ground and the object. This process redistributes the charges on the object, creating an induced charge without direct contact.
To ground an object means to connect it through a conductor to the ground, or Earth. Grounding is a way to prevent an electric charge from building on an object, or to get rid of an electric 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.
The discharge of electrons refers to the movement of electrons from one place to another. This can occur in various ways, such as in electrical circuits where electrons flow from a negative terminal to a positive terminal, or in phenomena like lightning where electrons are released from clouds to the ground.

During a lightning storm, electrons move from the negatively charged clouds to the positively charged ground. This movement creates an electric current, which results in the visible lightning bolt we see. The discharge equalizes the charge between the clouds and the ground.
Grounding is the process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size. When a charged object is grounded, the excess charge is balanced by the transfer of electrons between the charged object and a ground. A ground is simply an object which serves as a seemingly infinite reservoir of electrons; the ground is capable of transferring electrons to or receiving electrons from a charged object in order to neutralize that object.

Ground in electrical terms is considered to be at zero potential, not positively charged. It serves as a reference point for measuring voltage levels in a circuit. When a circuit is connected to ground, any excess charge will flow into or out of the ground to maintain equilibrium.

Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles. When you have a cloud that at the top of it is most negativity charged and the bottom is positively charged and it rolls over a point in the ground that is negatively charged this causes lightening and actually lightening goes from the ground up to the clouds not from the clouds to the ground as believed - the lightning is composed of a stream of electrons
First, if it is charged it is called an 'ion' and if it is positively charged it has lost one or more electrons from its outer parts and if it is negatively charged it has captured one or more electrons into its outer parts - as compared with its ground state which is when it has the same number of negative electrons in its outer parts as there are positively charged protons in its center and is therefore electrically neutral. all atoms are neutral, they have the same number of negatively charged electrons as they have positively charged protons (which is equal to the atomic number of that atom). metals can lose all of their valence electrons to get a complete outer orbital electron configuration, to form positively charged cations (+1, +2, and +3). They lose negatively charged electrons so they end up positive. ions are not atoms, they are atoms that have lost electrons or non-metals can gain electrons to fill their valence orbitals (becoming -1, -2, or -3). these nonmetals with extra electrons are anions, but anions are not atoms, they are atoms with extra electrons.
The key to the production of lightning is the buildup of negatively charged particles (electrons) in storm clouds. As these negative charges accumulate at the bottom of the cloud, they induce a positively charged area on the ground below. When the difference in charge becomes strong enough, a rapid flow of electrons occurs as lightning between the cloud and the ground to neutralize the charge imbalance.
The clouds are charged with a negative pole which has sub - atomic particles called electrons. And the ground is charged with a positive pole. If you think in the Earth as a giant magnet, the positive charge from the ground starts to attract the negative charged from the clouds. The energy is released in seconds and when it is too strong you can see a lighting in the sky coming down to the ground.
To neutralize a positively charged piece of rubber, you can introduce negatively charged particles, such as electrons. This can be achieved by grounding the rubber, which allows electrons from the ground to flow into the rubber, balancing its positive charge. Alternatively, bringing the rubber into contact with a negatively charged object can also transfer electrons to the rubber, neutralizing its charge.
