When positive charges go to negative charges in a cloud


What couses lightning?

in a cumulonimbus cloud (a thunderstorm cloud) there are negative and positive charges. the ground is positive, the lower level of the cloud is negative and the upper level of the cloud is positive. When lightning is about to take place there is one path where negative and positive charges crossing, thus creating an electrical charge, in other works lightning.


Lightning forms when?

Lightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground.


What occurs when positive and negative electrical charges build up in the cloud?

Lightning


What does lightning do?

Lightning is a collection of electricity caused by positive and negative charges in clouds. When the groups of charges travel through a cloud, one positive charge may hit a negative charge, thus creating lightning. Lightning can happen from cloud to ground, cloud to cloud, and above clouds. It is usually attracted to metal, water, wood, and other tall objects. When lightning strikes, it heats up the air to about the temperature of the Sun, or more. The air then explodes from all the heat which makes the sound of thunder. So, in other words, it is the cause of thunder.

What happens when lightning strikes the ground?

I read a book by an electrical engineer who said, "When lightning strikes the earth. there is a positive charge in the earth from which sends runners up toward the base of a cumulonimbus cloud which has a negative charge. The negative charge sends out runners toward the runners of positive charge. When the two charges meet, the lightning charge goes toward the earth and the result is a bolt of lightning.
