Light is electromagnetic energy that is visible to the naked eye. It is energy in the form of photons. It can come from many processes that release energy. Light travels in a straight line. It is light that allows us to see.
Lightning is a massive discharge of static electricity that usually occurs in a thunderstorm. lightning often travels in a jagged, branching path. Lightning is visible because it produces light.
