Lightning
Lightning is a sudden
electrostatic discharge during an
electrical storm between
electrically charged regions of a
cloud (called intra-cloud lightning or IC), between that cloud and another cloud (CC lightning), or between a cloud and the ground (CG lightning). The charged regions in the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through this discharge referred to as a
strike if it hits an object on the ground. Although lightning is always accompanied by the sound of
thunder, distant lightning may be seen but be too far away for the thunder to be heard. A lightning strike forms a visible
plasma.
