electric discharge
Lightning bolt phenomenon
Electric discharge is the release of electrical energy through a medium, typically air or gas.
Lightning is nature's most dramatic example—electricity jumping between clouds or from cloud to ground.
Smaller discharges include sparks from static electricity and the controlled arcs in welding.
The electric discharge lit up the night sky.
