The short answer is that clouds form a positive charge and the ground constitutes a negative charge and when clouds build up enough of a positive charge it will release an arc of electricity and literally ground itself.

When lightning forms it releases energy that breaks the sound barrier and the sound you’re hearing is thunder.
