Q: Since thunder and lightning are electrical events, why are they so often accompanied by heavy rain?
(and that is your convoluted answer which makes absolutely no sense.)
Water + Oxygen + Energy = H20
This is the answer given.
A: The electrical activity that manifests itself as lightning is generated by the airborne water.
I dare any one of you to create electrical charge with water droplets!!!
It continues to claim this...
When water vapour condenses into a cloud and rises into colder upper regions of the sky, some of it turns into ice crystals, usually with a positive charge, and some becomes water droplets, usually with a negative charge.
When the charges are strong enough, the electricity is disÂcharged as a bolt of lightning.
This is brand new phenomenon which requires brand new science. These ARE NOT created by water and ice crystals.
