Question

Explain how lightning takes place?


NCERT Class VIII
Science - Exemplar Problems

Chapter 15. Some Natural Phenomena

Answer 1

Lightning is produced in thunderstorms when liquid and ice particles above the freezing level collide, and build up large electrical fields in the clouds

Answer 2

The huge masses of clouds get electrically charged due to rubbing of the clouds with the air and due to the presence of dust, carbon and other charged particles in the air.When two clouds carrying opposite charges approach each other, a large quantity of electric charge flows rapidly from one cloud to the other through the air.When this happens, an intense apark of electricity is see in the sky.Such rapid flow of charge through the air between two oppositely charged clouds causes lightning.

hope it helps. :))
