The high energy from lightning strikes causes atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂) to react, forming various nitrogen oxides. Nitric oxide (NO) is a primary product of this process. These nitrogen oxides play a role in atmospheric chemistry, including the formation of tropospheric ozone and acid rain precursors.
