know about lightning in a very easiest manner. With animations and many more effects.

2. Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge during an electrical storm
between electrically charged regions of a cloud (called intra-cloud lightning or
IC), between that cloud and another cloud (CC lightning), or between a cloud
and the ground (CG lightning). The charged regions in the atmosphere
temporarily equalize themselves through this discharge referred to as a strike if
it hits an object on the ground.

3. Heavier, negatively charged particles sink to the
bottom of the cloud. When the positive and negative
charges grow large enough, a giant spark - lightning -
occurs between the two charges within the cloud.
This is like a static electricity sparks you see, but
much bigger.

4. Outdoors
•Avoid open fields, the top of a hill or a ridge top.
•Stay away from tall, isolated trees or other tall objects. If you are in a
forest, stay near a lower stand of trees.
•If you are in a group, spread out to avoid the current traveling between
group members.
•If you are camping in an open area, set up camp in a valley, ravine or other
low area. Remember, a tent offers NO protection from lighting.
•Stay away from water, wet items, such as ropes, and metal objects, such
as fences and poles. Water and metal do not attract lightning but they are
excellent conductors of electricity. The current from a lightning flash will
easily travel for long distances.

5. Indoors
•Stay off corded phones. You can use cellular or cordless phones.
•Don't touch electrical equipment such as computers, TVs, or cords. You can remote controls
safety.
•Avoid plumbing. Do not wash your hands, take a shower or wash dishes.
•Stay away from windows and doors that might have small leaks around the sides to let in
lightning, and stay off porches.
•Do not lie on concrete floors or lean againt concrete walls.
•Protect your pets: Dog houses are not safe shelters. Dogs that are chained to trees or on metal
runners are particularly vulnerable to lightning strikes.
•Protect your property: Lightning generates electric surges that can damage electronic equipment
some distance from the actual strike. Typical surge protectors will not protect equipment from a
lightning strike.

6. • Most of the lightning occurs between 2PM to &PM.
• 25% of the lightning victims die.
• 14% of lightning strike deaths are under trees.
• Average electricity conducted during lightning 100,000,000 volts
• Lightning travel 1000 feet in a millionth of a second.

7. A lightning rod or lightning
conductor is a metal rod or
metallic object mounted on top
of an elevated structure, such
as a building, a ship, or even a
tree, electrically bonded using a
wire or electrical

8. 1> People struck by lightning carry a charge and we should not
touch them
2> A person can be struck with lightning even when it is not raining.
3>The rubber tires of your car protect you from lightning.
4>Most people who are struck by lightning survived.
5>Lightning can enter a home using telephone wire.

9. 1> False.
2>True.
