"Cloud to Ground" refers to a type of lightning strike that occurs when electrical discharge travels from a cloud to the Earth's surface. This phenomenon typically happens during thunderstorms when the buildup of electrical charges in the atmosphere creates a potential difference. When the charge becomes strong enough, it results in a sudden release of energy, creating a visible flash of light and a loud sound known as thunder. These lightning strikes can be dangerous, as they can cause fires, damage structures, and pose risks to people and animals. Understanding lightning safety and taking precautions during storms can help minimize the risks associated with cloud to ground lightning.
