Large quantities of static charges are produced due to friction of moving clouds in the atmosphere with air.

The static charges in the cloud induce large opposite charges on earth,producing high potential difference between the earth and the cloud.

The high potential difference makes the air become a charge conductor.The opposite charges strongly attract and neutralize each other causing thunder and lightning.
