The phenomena of atmospheric electricity are of three kinds. There is the electrical phenomena of thunderstorms and there are the phenomena of continual electrification in the air, and the phenomena of the polar Aurora constitute a third branch of the subject.
At atmospheric pressure, air and other gases are poor conductors (Insulators) of electricity. Because, they don't have any free electrons to carry current.owever, they conduct electricity so poorly that we consider them insulators. Electricity requires the movement of electrons. In a gas, these electrons are too dispersed to provided any measurable current.
