Faraday's law applied to lightning, " When lightning occurs air conducts current which happens in earths magnetic field will it produce motion in air".

But regardless the air moves violently ... you have heard thunder ? :)

flying clouds charged cause of heavy magnetic field of earth n produce a large amount of electric. clouds n earth behavior is just like a neutral electric dinemo .
