Surely, you have seen lightning in the sky many times during the rain. Lightning is believed to be an electrical discharge that looks like a strong flash of light in the sky and is accompanied by thunder.
Lightning almost always forms in large rain clouds. A lightning strike is considered very dangerous. However, lightning is safe and interesting to watch from afar.
It is because of the danger of lightning that it is usually recommended to close windows during a thunderstorm, not to be in large open spaces, and also not to use many electrical appliances. The lightning symbol usually means danger or electricity.
