All time the electrons flow to or from the ground.


Note the statement "makes it easier for a current to flow between the
plates". That's "between the plates" and not "flow to earth".


The Earth surface works as the plate.

something
like 15 minutes."
That's "self-discharge" and not "discharge to earth".

For a detailed discussion of electrons, why not try posting on one
of the Physics or Science newsgroups?


They know what the electrons are.

Hello Szczepan.

No, the earth doesn't act as a surface of a capacitor. Capacitors will
self-discharge even when they aren't connected to any circuit.
