At their most exciting, they can create the wondrous effect of lightning. How is lightning formed? Water and ice move around inside the cloud; forced up by warm air currents, down by gravity, and compressed in the cloud. Once a significant charge separation has built up, the positive and negative charges seek to reach each other an neutralise. As the negative charge races down, the air surrounding it heats up.The spark is very hot at almost 20,000 degrees Celsius, and it rapidly heats the air to create a shock wave. Considering light travels very fast – about 300 million metres per second, and that sound only travels at 300 metres per second; light is a million times faster than the sound produced. Here is a slow motion video of lightning. Watch closely and you will see the step leaders heading down from the cloud. Lightning facts
