The noun lightning itself (electrical discharge) is used as a noun adjunct, rather than an adjective, in such terms as lightning bolt or lightning rod. Only when the intent is to show great speed or quickness (lightning speed, lightning reflexes) is lightning an adjective.
Just about. It strikes when the electric potential has built up high enough to ionize the air. That can happen anywhere.
The only form of plasma on Earth found in nature is lightning. Lightning occurs when an electrical charge builds up in the atmosphere and discharges, creating a plasma state of matter.
Lightning can occur in any location under the right conditions, but it is more common in certain regions where thunderstorms are frequent, such as in the tropics or areas with a lot of atmospheric instability. Lightning is less likely in extremely dry or polar regions where the necessary conditions for thunderstorm development are rare.
The lightning didn't say anything to the rain, as lightning does not produce sound. Lightning is an electrical discharge in the atmosphere, while rain is precipitation in the form of water.
Thunder and lightning typically form in cumulonimbus clouds, which are large, towering clouds associated with thunderstorms. These clouds are formed by rising warm air that cools and condenses into water droplets, which then collide and create an electrical charge. When this charge is discharged as lightning, it heats the air around it rapidly, causing the sound we hear as thunder.
It forms on Earth and various planets outside the atmosphere.
Lightning forms in clouds.

almost anywhere
Pretty much anywhere.
The lightning capital of the world is Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. This area experiences an average of 233 lightning flashes per square kilometer per year, earning it the title of the lightning hotspot of the world.
Cumulonimbus clouds form lightning
No. Since tornadoes form in thunderstorms they are usually accompanied by lightning, but they do not actually cause lightning.
It isn't the lightning, but the rain, which promotes the growth of mushrooms.
Benjamin Franklin was the first person to prove that lightning is a form of electricity.
