Lightning

What causes lightning? Lightning is caused by ice crystals crashing into each other When the crystals break, they release energy in the form of electricity If enough electricity builds up, large currents will move through the air The arc of electricity is visible as lightning ________________________________________

What is thunder? Thunder is caused by air movement after lightning The electrical energy is turned into heat energy When air is heated quickly by lightning, it expands The moving air creates a massive sound wave ________________________________________

Facts about lightning Sound travels about one kilometers every three seconds For every three seconds you count before hearing thunder, a lightning strike is one kilometer away The electricity of one lightning strike is brighter than ten-million 100-watt lightbulbs ________________________________________

Facts about lightning Between 350 to 600 people are struck by lightning in the United States every year, around 70 people are killed If possible, get inside well before a thunderstorm arrives, because lightning can travel great distances ________________________________________
