its lightning, for a more simple answer......

electric current flow is the movement of charges. Most often, however, we consider electric current flow to be moving electrons, or electron current flow.

We most often use the term electric current flow to refer to the moving electrons, the flow of which is measured in amperes.

Earlier scientists, before the discovery of electron, do believe that current flows right from positive terminal to the negative. This is known as conventional current flow.

So electron flow is always opposite the direction of conventional current.
