I've been around for considerable time and always accepted that lightning came about because of the plus and minus electrical charges in the thunder clouds that built up till it had to discharge thus a lightning strike. This all was theory and has never actually been proved but sounded reasonable enough to accept. It was taught at school.
Well it appears that Modern Scientists now have found our lightning actually comes from and is generated by the sun and the charge is finally dispersed by the water of raindrops in the clouds and thus to earth. What are termed Sprites have now been photographed above the storm clouds and estimated to go out into space 100 plus kilometers. This is the return visual reaction to the electrical charge coming in once a lightning strike is the reaction. These Sprites have been seen in a few colours; Mainly Red, Blue and Bright White. This goes on continuously around the World wherever a build up of clouds and thus water vapour gathers.
Modern Scientists no longer believe there are plus and minus charges within water vapour clouds. They haven't been able to find any evidence to support that theory. The water vapour in the clouds are what attracts the electrical charges from space from the sun.
Apparently also lightning is extremely important to life on Earth. Each lightning strike and there are thousands daily all over the World actually causes nitrogen to form which is a very essential requirement for life of all types.
Trees and plants certainly need it as example and it is possibly the reason they evolved in the first place. Without nitrogen there would be no food supplies.
