Atmospheric Science
Lightning is a powerful discharge of electricity that occurs during thunderstorms, resulting from the buildup and release of electrical energy in the atmosphere. This natural phenomenon is accompanied by thunder and can take various forms, such as cloud-to-ground strikes or intra-cloud flashes. Lightning plays a critical role in the dynamics of thunderstorms and is closely linked to the processes involved in their formation and development.
