Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity, which occurs during thunderstorms or sometimes during dust storms or volcanic eruptions. In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 60,000 m/s, and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F), hot enough to fuse silica sand into petrified lightning.
