Lightning
This build up of charge in the cloud induces in the surrounding ground, a flow of positive charge onto the surface of objects like trees, buildings, and even people. Again, a situation of separation of charges develops. These induced +Charges at the surface of the Earth build and become attracted to this stepped leader. When sufficient dielectric charge has built up, a sudden (and massive) flow of +Charge moves up to the Stepped Leader and the familiar lightning strike is seen.

.. is nature's circuit breaker. This common atmospheric phenomenon is a flip switch that restores the natural electrical charge.
At any given moment, a 100 bolts of lightning strike the ground, while cloud-to-cloud strikes happen 10 times more frequently.
Cause Of Lightning
Lightning occurs when the atmospheric charge between a cloud and the ground or a nearby cloud becomes unbalanced. This process builds up a negative charge on the underside and causes the ground below or cloud to develop a positive charge in response.
The imbalance of electrical e...
