Atmospheric electricity is the diurnal variation of atmospheric electromagnetic network (or, more generally, any electrical system in the atmosphere of a planet). The surface of the Earth, the ionosphere, and atmosphere are known as the "global atmospheric electric circuit." Atmospheric electricity is a multidisciplinary subject.
There is always free electricity in the air and clouds, which acts by induction on Earth and electromagnetic devices. Experiments have shown that there is always free electricity in the atmosphere, sometimes negative and sometimes positive (most of the time generally positive)and the intensity of free electricity is higher than in the morning noon or night and is higher in winter than in summer. In good weather, the potential increases with altitude at a rate of about 100 volts per meter.
Different layers or strata of the atmosphere, situated at very short distance from each other, are often found in different electrical state. The phenomena of atmospheric electricity may be of three types. Is the electrical phenomena of thunderstorms and the phenomena of continuous electrification in the air, and the phenomena of the polar aurora is the third type.

The electricity accumulated in the atmosphere
provoked this phenomena.
