How lightning forms

How lightning forms

How lightning forms

In summary…. Lightning is due to correcting a charge imbalance from the ground to a cloud Lightning has two parts…A leader (ground to cloud) and a return stroke (cloud to ground) that our eye can’t distinguish

Lightning Safety There is no charge inside a hollow sphere (Video reference: Lightning hitting a plane) Lightning rod: Prevents charge from building up in the first place In an open field with lightning…go to lowest place possible. Do not talk on a telephone. Go inside something metal.
