Lightning 

Lightning is a bolt of electricity between the sky and the ground. A single bolt has enough power to light hundreds of lamps for a day. Lightning can strike people and even kill them. Lightning also starts hundreds of forest fires every year.

Inside the big dark thunderclouds on a stormy day are millions of tiny droplets of ice. These collide with each other all the time, creating an electric charge (a small amount of electricity). In no time, they could get filled up with charges.

Electric charges are neither positive nor negative. When negative charges from the bottom of the could and positive charges of the ground meat, a flash is seen. This flash is actually the path of the electrical charges. All this happens in a fraction of a second.

Lightning heats the air around it to temperatures up to 30,000 degrees Celcius. This is more than five times hotter than the surface of the Sun. When air is heated so quickly, it expands and contracts violently, much like a balloon bursting. The explosion is heard as thunder. Lightning and thunder happen at the same time, but why do we always see lightning first and hear thunder later? This is because light travels almost a million times faster than sound.
