Answer 1

Lightningis a suddenelectrostatic dischargethatoccurs during athunderstorm. This discharge occurs betweenelectrically chargedregions of acloud(called intra-cloud lightning or IC), between two clouds (CC lightning), or between a cloud andthe ground (CG lightning).The charged regions in the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through this discharge referred to as astrikeif it hits an object on the ground, and aflash, if it occurs within a cloud. Lightning causes light in the form ofplasma, and sound in the form ofthunder. Lightning may be seen and not heard when it occurs at a distance too great for the sound to carry as far as the light from the strike or flash.
