What causes lightning

What causes lightning

Lightning originates around 15,000 to 25,000 feet above sea level when raindrops are carried upward until some of them convert to ice.

Lightning results from the buildup and discharge of electrical energy between positively and negatively charged ice particles within the storm cloud.A lightning bolt contains as much current as three hundred thousand amperes and around three hundred million volts.

What is the rarest color of lightning

The strangest colors reported are instances of pink or green lightning seen during snowstorms. The unique sky color is caused as snowflakes refract and reflect the white bolt in a unique way.

What causes thunder

Thunder is caused by lightning, which is essentially a stream of electrons flowing between or within clouds, or between a cloud and the ground. This causes the column to vibrate like a tubular drum head and produces a tremendous crack. As the vibrations gradually die out, the sound echoes and reverberates, generating the rumbling we call thunder.
