CLOUD-TO-GROUND AND CLOUD-TO-CLOUD LIGHTNING |
| Caption: |
Nighttime photograph of cloud-to-ground lighting strokes in the left half of the photograph and cloud-to-cloud lightning strokes in the upper right part of the photograph. Although most lightning that we see goes from cloud-to-ground or cloud-to-cloud, over half of all lightning occurs within thunderstorm clouds.
