as well as solar particles from the solar wind, enter the atmosphere and electrify the air, which may create pathways for lightning channels.

Charge separation

Charge separation in thunderstorms

The details of the charging process are still being studied by scientists, but there is general agreement on some of the basic concepts of thunderstorm charge separation, also known as electrification. Electrification can be by the triboelectric effect leading to electron or ion
