WHAT IS THUNDER AND LIGHTING
Lighting
is a sudden, violent flash of electricity between a cloud and the ground, or
from cloud to cloud. A lightening flash, or bolt, can be several miles long. It
is so hot, with an average tempereature of 34,000 Centigrade that the air
around it suddenly expands with a loud blast. This is the thunder we hear.
Lightning
occurs in hot, wet storms. Moist air is driven up to a great height. It forms a
type of cloud called cumulo-nimbus. When the cloud rises high enough the
moisture freezes and ice crystals and snowflakes are formed. These begin to
fall, turning to train on the way down. This rain meets more moist air rising
and it is the friction between them which produces static electricity. When a
cloud is fully charged with this electricity, it discharges it as a lightning
flash.
