When we say that electrically charged particles in the atmosphere cause lightning, we mean 'cause' in the sense of a: <u>discharge</u>.

Lightning is a very rapid electrical discharge that can happen within a cloud, between two clouds, or between a cloud and the earth. It appears as a brilliant flash, and afterwards thunder may be heard.

The droplets and crystals in the atmosphere collide and disperse throughout the storm. The clouds develop static electrical charges as a result of this rubbing. These clouds have a "plus" end and a "minus" end, just like a battery. The top of the cloud represents the plus, or positive, charges.

Air serves as an insulator between the positive and negative charges in the cloud and between the cloud and the ground during the early stages of lightning. This insulating ability of the air dissipates when the opposing charges accumulate to the point when lightning—a sudden discharge of electricity—occurs.
