A lightning bolt is a very intense electrical discharge that occurs during a storm. It happens when there’s an accumulation of electric charges in the clouds and on the Earth.
When these charges become large enough, they create a conductive path of ionized air that connects the clouds and the Earth’s surface.
This intense electric current generates a bright light and a deafening sound known as thunder. Lightning bolts are powerful natural phenomena and can pose a danger, so it’s important to seek safe shelter during an electrical storm.
