lightning:

A powerful discharge of electricity in the atmosphere that results in a flash of light in the sky. Most lightning occurs between two parts of a cloud; some occur between a cloud and the ground; and a few occur between two clouds. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air due to the heat from a lightning flash.
