Lightning is a sudden discharge of electrons from clouds to the ground. When storm clouds gather up lots of electrons, which are negative, the electrons are attracted to the ground's positive charge (opposites attract). The cloud's electrons build up so much that they leap to the ground in one stream, causing visible lightning.
