thunder we hear. Lightning occurs in hot, wet storms. Moist air is driven up to a great height. It forms a
type of could called cumulo nimbus. When the cloud rises high enough, the moisture freezes. And then ice
crystals and snowflakes are formed. These begin to fall, turning to rain on the way down. This rain meets

world around them, but no brains. They are made almost entirely water, which is why you can look through
them.

reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for several reasons. For example, they may
glow for scare away predators or to attract animals they like to eat.
