We have been seeing clouds in the sky since childhood. In summer, the water of rivers, ponds and sea
s evaporates into vapor and gets deposited on dust particles in the sky, which we call clouds.
These clouds fall in the form of rain which provides water to the plants. Generally, it rains without any thunder or lightning. But due to strong wind or storm, there are incidents of thunder and lightning.
India is a country where even today many people are unaware of science. Even educated people do not know the scientific reason behind the natural events happening every day.
Only after knowing the causes of any natural event, the dangers associated with it can be avoided.
Every year thousands of people die due to lightning in our country. Most deaths occur in those states where people do not have knowledge of science.
Even during rainy days, people are working in the fields, even after knowing that lightning is flashing and clouds are thundering. Such people think that why will lightning leave the entire field and fall only on them? Whereas in reality, lightning leaves the entire field and falls only on those who are working in the fields.
We know that all things are made up of atoms that have opposite charges like electrons and protons that attract each other.
During rainy days, opposite charges are formed between the clouds due to the friction of air, but the air between them acts like an insulator and prevents those charges from meeting.
But when these clouds come very close with the flow of air or the barrier between them is removed, then a lot of negative charge flows at a fast speed, which produces a bright flash, which we call lightning.
Due to the high speed flow of charge, strong vibrations are created in the air which turn into a loud sound which we call thunder.
Apart from this, most of the people stand under the trees to avoid rain and when lightning falls on the tree, the people standing under it also get hit.
Let us know the science behind this phenomenon. To play the flute, we have to blow into it. Blowing causes vibrations in the air, which makes the sound. Similarly, other musical instruments also make sounds from the vibrations of air. Similarly, when there is a strong vibration in the air in the sky, we hear the roar of the clouds.
