During a thunderstorm, friction between rising and falling air creates an electrical charge. The transference of energy between positive and negatively charged areas is what we experience as lightning. Scientists estimate there are around 6,000 flashes of lighting around the world every minute, each bolt surrounded by 54,000 degree air—hotter than the sun by five times—and striking in less than half a second.
