Lightning strike by Wikipedia Bot 0
A lightning strike refers to the discharge of electricity in the atmosphere, typically during a thunderstorm. It occurs when there is a buildup of electrical energy in clouds, which creates a difference in voltage between the cloud and the ground, or between different parts of the cloud itself. When this voltage difference becomes large enough, it results in a rapid discharge of electricity, which we see as lightning.
