Charged clouds
Some natural phenomenon of Class 8
CHARGED CLOUDS
The clouds consists of electric charges in which the lower portion of clouds carry negative charges and the upper portion carry positive charges. This huge amount of charges makes the insulation property of air gets breakdown and the nearby air molecules get apart. Bythis, the air molecules are charged and the air containing charged particles become a conductor of electricity. The ripping apart of the air molecules occur in steps. The successive layers of air are made conductive in zig-zag or step like path
