Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms,
and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms.
In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 60,000 m/s (130,000 mph),
and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F), hot enough to fuse
silica sand into glass channels known as fulgurites which are normally hollow and can extend some distance into the ground.
There are some 16 million lightning storms in the world every year.

Never ever take shelter under a Tree !!
Ground-to-cloud lightning is a lightning discharge between the ground and a cumulonimbus cloud initiated by an upward-moving leader stroke.
It is much rarer than cloud-to-ground lightning.
This type of lightning forms when negatively charged ions called the stepped leader rises up from the ground and
meets the positively charged ions in a cumulonimbus cloud.
Then the strike goes back to the ground as the return stroke.
