Is Bitcoin a Lighting Network

No.

or Lighting network give rise to Bitcoin transactions

Also no. Although since LN usually is used on top of Bitcoin network, few people might say Bitcoin give rise to LN.

or these are two different technology

Correct. LN isn't part of Bitcoin protocol/network and LN also works on different cryptocurrency (such as LTC and DOGE). If you don't mind long reading, Mastering LN Book show details comparison between LN and Bitcoin which can be read for free at https://github.com/lnbook/lnbook/blob/develop/03_how_ln_works.asciidoc#comparison-with-bitcoin.
