Answer to Question 1

Answer: Lightning and thunder often accompany thunderstorms. As water droplets in the thundercloud bump into and rub against one another, the cloud becomes electrically chargedusually positively charged at the top and negatively charged at the base. As electrical stress between the oppositely charged regions builds up, the charge becomes great enough that electrical energy is released and passed to other points of opposite charge, which quite often means the ground. The electrical energy flow from cloud to ground is lightning. As lightning heats up the air, the air expands and we hear lightning's noisy companion, thunder.
