Difference between Cumulonimbus cloud and Lightning

Cumulonimbus cloud vs. Lightning

Cumulonimbus, from the Latin cumulus ("heaped") and nimbus ("rainstorm"), is a dense, towering vertical cloud, forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents. Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge that occurs typically during a thunderstorm.

Similarities between Cumulonimbus cloud and Lightning

Cumulonimbus cloud and Lightning have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atmospheric convection, Cloud, Cumulonimbus incus, Lightning, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Precipitation, Tornado.

Atmospheric convection

Atmospheric convection is the result of a parcel-environment instability, or temperature difference, layer in the atmosphere.

Cumulonimbus incus

A cumulonimbus incus (Latin incus, "anvil") also known as an anvil cloud is a cumulonimbus cloud which has reached the level of stratospheric stability and has formed the characteristic flat, anvil-top shape.
