Lightning strikes are powerful electrical discharges caused by imbalances between storm clouds and the ground, releasing energy in the form of light, heat, and sound. They play a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle by converting atmospheric nitrogen into compounds usable by plants, but they also pose significant hazards to life and property.
