Why does lightning flash?
Scientist Benjamin Franklin explained the real reason for lightning for the first time in 1872. He said that there are small particles of water in the clouds in the sky, which get charged due to the friction of air. Some clouds get positive charge and some negative. When clouds with both types of charges rub against each other, their meeting produces electricity of millions of volts. Sometimes this electricity is so strong that it reaches the earth.
