Can lightning's energy be caugt stored and use?

As far as I know, this hasn't been done yet. You might invent something yourself. The way I see it: * Lightning does, indeed, have useful energy, which might be harnessed in theory. Probably you don't even need to wait for a lightning; there is a potential difference (i.e., a voltage) between the upper and the lower atmosphere. * Harnessing it may result in some serious technical difficulties - for example, the huge voltages involved. Also, the energy density in the atmosphere might be rather low. I believe the reason lightning energy has not been harnessed so far is that there are other, easier, ways to get energy. It has not been possible as yet.

If the science of lightning strikes could be harnessed in spacecraft would spacecraft travel at or near speed of light?

No. Lightning and propulsion systems that we currently use have no relation to each other. Lightning is an atmospheric phenomenon and there is no atmosphere in space. The only thing along this line of thinking that may be distantly related is the theory of using an ion drive as a propulsion system. According to the theory, this may allow spacecraft to approach the speed of light. Ions are produced during lightning strikes, so there is a slight correlation.


Why solar energy is harnessed?

Solar energy is harnessed because it is a renewable source of energy and we should make full use of it to lower the pressure on the traditional or non-renewable sources of energy.

What kind of energy can be harnessed from the sun?

Solar energy is the light and heat from the sun. Solar energy can be harnessed either by solar cells which convert it into usable electricity, or passively as in the use of passive solar heating.
