What happens before you get struck by lightning?
I'm not positive but when I was hiking and almost got struck, I heard clicking in my ears and a tingling sensation throughout my body and the hair on body started to stand up.... it kind of felt as if I was touching a weak electric fence.
How is lying down dangerous during a thunderstorm?
laying down is bad. It is bad because a tree could get struck and fall on you. you always should be on your feet ready to run at any moment. if your hair sticks up that is a sign that lightning is going to strike right there. Get out of there immediately so you don't get struck. To prevent getting struck in the first place you should stay in your house or under a roof.

Why does a balloon rubbed in your hair make your hair stand up?
The friction between your hair and the balloon cause static electricity causing your hair to stand up.
Why does the hair on a person's head will stand up when the lightning strike occurs nearby?
Because of static electricity. The bottom of the storm cloud is negatively charged and the ground (which you are standing on) is positively charged, so the static dishcharge( movement of static charge from one place to another) occurs. Like charges repel, unlike charges attract!

What is the only difference between a bolt of lightning and the spark that is seen between a person's hair and a hard rubber comb used in the hair on a dry day?
The difference between lightning and static is lightning is formed by giant clouds rubbed against each other and static is something such as flanel p.j.s rubbing together. Lightning is big, and static is small.
