Lightning forms within thunderclouds when small ice particles collide, building up an electrical charge. Positively charged particles rise to the top of the cloud, while negatively charged particles sink to the bottom. When the electrical potential becomes great enough, a giant spark of lightning occurs within or between clouds, or from cloud to ground. Lightning rods provide a low-resistance path for lightning currents to safely travel down into the ground, protecting structures from heat damage that could
