Correct Answer - Option 1 : Exchange the electric charge
Concept:
- Lightning is a huge static electric spark that jumps from cloud to cloud or from a cloud to some object on the earth.
- This usually happens during a heavy rainstorm or thunderstorm.
Explanation:
Causes of lightning in the sky:
- Lightning is a flash of light created by an electric discharge between clouds or between clouds and the ground or any object on the ground.
- Most of the lighting is because of negatively charged clouds.
- The precipitation process within a cloud is a reason lightning occurs.
- The filaments of lightning flames are having a very high temperature even more than the sun surface.
- Suddenly high temperature and then again low temperature caused by lightning causes thunder in the sky.
Thus, lightning occurs in the sky when two clouds exchange the electric charge.
