Does lightning travel faster through air that is dry or through air that has lots more moisture?
Air is an insulator .......but still the lightning travels through it by ionising it.On the other hand water is a good conductor and ligthning finds path through it to reach the earth.Thus ligthning travels faster through air that has moisture than dry air.
Could lightning travel through the air as long as there is moisture?
lightning does not require water vapour in the air. It travels at light speed (approx) through an ionized path.
Can airplanes travel faster than sound?
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
Does lightning travel faster in 95 or 77 Fahrenheit?
95
Can lightning travel though concrete?
Yes, lightning can travel through concrete because it is a conductive material. When lightning strikes concrete, it can follow the path of least resistance, which includes the moisture and metal reinforcement within the concrete. This can result in damage to the concrete and surrounding structures.
Is lightning faster than wind?
Lightning (an electrical discharge) always travels faster than the speed of sound. Lightning moves at thousands of miles per second through the air. The energy heats the air, to many thousands of degrees in temperature, and the rapid expansion of the air creates sound waves, called thunder. These sound waves travel through the air at about 1/5 of a mile per second, so that at any distance away from a lightning strike, the flash is seen before the thunder is heard.
Is lightning or a shooting star faster?
Lightning is faster than a shooting star. Lightning can travel at speeds of around 220,000 miles per hour (354,055 kilometers per hour), while shooting stars typically travel at speeds of around 36,000 miles per hour (57,935 kilometers per hour).
What specific solid does sound travel through the fastest?
The denser the faster. ie: it will travel faster through quartz than sandstone.
Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
How far does the electrical current travel in the ocean if lightning strikes it?
When lightning strikes the ocean, the electrical current can travel up to several miles through the water.
Can lightning travel through a tree?
Yes, lightning can travel through a tree because trees contain water and nutrients that conduct electricity. When lightning strikes a tree, the electricity can flow through the tree's conductive tissues, such as sap and water, potentially causing damage to the tree.
Can lightning strike through an open window?
Yes, lightning can strike through an open window because it can travel through the air and conductive materials like metal.
