Lightning

lightning is a bright electrostatic discharge which Is produced during thunderstorms, lightning is just as a result of particles collision in the sky and when they bump into each other,it create an electric charge which comprises of positive charges and negative charges, the positive charges is casted at the top of the cloud which that of the negative charges is casted at the bottom of the cloud, this process result to sound and a flash light, the sound is referred to as thunder which lot of persons mistake it's meaning. At the point of collision, light and sound is being produced but because light travels at a greater speed more than the speed of sound, this then result in displaying of light before sound and the lightning bolt can be seen from a distance of about 160.9 kilometres which is about 100 miles but under some certain facts like clarity and height.Due to the law governing charges which stated that like charges attract while unlike charges repels and as a result of that law, the negative charges that is casted beneath the cloud causes an attract with any part of the earth that obtained a positive change like trees, mountain and some other object on the earth, the lightning is about 29982.222 degree Celsius ( 54000 degree Fahrenheit) which is hotter when compared with the sun's surface and it's really dangerous to we humans and even on plants.
