Lightning over the Volcano of Water
This image captures lightning over a volcano. Lightning occurs when updrafts within clouds cause collisions between ice and snow, separating charges. The rapid electrical discharges heat a thin column of air to about three times the Sun's surface temperature, creating the thunder we hear.
