where does lighting comes from?

Answer 1

Very good question Fearless, and here is the scientific answer you are looking for. When negative charge near the bottom of the cloud becomes large enough to overcome the air's resistance, electrons (called the step leader) begins to flow downward toward the ground. When these approach the ground a region of positive charge moves up into the air to meet the downward step leader. When they meet a strong current or return stroke surges upwards into the cloud. The amperage of a typical thunderstorm may vary from 10,000 to 200,000 amps, with a potential difference of several hundred million volts. The power generated by one thunderstorm may be in the neighborhood of several hundred megawatts. Now you should have a little better understanding of this process. It is both from the cloud and from the ground. There is also cloud to cloud lightning, but I'll leave that for another day.

Answer 2

Lightning comes from thunderstorm.The details are given below.
Thunderstorm develop when warm,moist-laden air rises rapidly,causing a cloud to expand upwards.Strong updrafts and downdrafts develop, causing a separation of the elctrical charges inside the cloud; positive at the top,negative at the bottom.When the difference in electrical charge within a cloud,or between the bottom of the cloud and earth's surface is large enough,electricity is discharged.This discharge is seen as lightning.

Answer 5

Positive and Negative electrons come in contact from divergent storm clouds,flow can be to clouds from earth or from clouds to earth or from clouds to clouds.

Answer 6

Lightining comes from the friction of clouds.

Answer 7

A difference in potential between the earth and clouds or clouds and clouds.

Answer 10

if i remember from science,it is when a positive and negative clouds get together.
