Rubbing a balloon on your hair. This makes your hair stand up. That’s because rubbing the balloon creates static electricity.
Now, think of a cloud as a really big balloon. When particles inside the cloud rub against each other, they create static electricity . This build-up of electric charge is what causes lightning. When the charge gets too strong, it needs to go somewhere, so it zaps down to the ground as a lightning bolt.
