Electricidad: relampagos

The video explains how lightning is a form of static electricity discharge occurring when strong charges develop in storm clouds. Negative charges at the cloud's bottom repel other negative charges and attract positive charges on Earth, leading to electric shocks. Lightning is the movement of charged particles, and its immense electricity heats the air, causing thunder. Lightning is dangerous, killing and injuring people annually. Safety tips include seeking shelter and avoiding open spaces and tall objects during storms.
