during a thunderstorm, the electric charge built up in the clouds becomes unbalanced. to become balanced again it disperses the energy to whatever it is closest to or a good conductor. (such as a lightning rod or a tree) sort of like a giant static shock.

Is a lightning rod an electric conductor or an insulator?
conductor
Are lightning rod or plastic better metal lightning rods?
For a lightning conductor, we need an electrical conductor, so the iron would be superior.
What are the metals used for lightning conductor?
copper
Who is the inventor of a lightning conductor?
benjamin franklin
Why you have to stay away from trees during lightning?
lightning is attracted to the taller objects in any open space .so being near tall trees in an open space is dangerous. The lightning can "jump" from the tree through the air to your body if it finds that your body, with its high salt content, is an easier conductor.
When was Lightning Conductor - film - created?
Lightning Conductor - film - was created in 1938.

What are the release dates for The Lightning Conductor - 1914?
The Lightning Conductor - 1914 was released on: USA: May 1914
Is lighting a conductor of electricity?
A conductor is metals... lightning is electricity.
How do lightning harm the tree?
Lightning harns a tree by harming the roots of a tree and that affects how the tree grows
Air is the poor conductor but during lightning electric current passes through itwhy?
air becomes good conductor during lightning and thunderstorm as usually it is a bad conductor because when there is lightning the lightning bolt travel through air,an electron flow takes place. this electron flow through the air leaves behinfd it a little hollow channel in the air it produces charge and air gets charged with this and becomes good conductor during lightning and thundestorm. thanx.......... prachi singh india
