Lightning is the exchange of energy and plasma. According to scientist Bruce Steo, lightning moves at variable speeds. Lightning is in fact not light. But as the electronic plasma moves through charged air, it releases light waves. Depending on air conditions, the typical lightning bolt moves at 224,000 mph -- or about 3,700 miles per second.
However, the light you see from the lightning obviously travels at the speed of light, which is roughly 670 million mph, or 186,000 miles per second.
Lightening travels at 300,000 km per second which is the same speed as light.
no it does not
They length of a lightning bolt is 2 to 3 miles long, and they can travel twice as far as there length, so the answer is they can travel 4 to 6 miles.
yes it can
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
Not that i have ever seen so no
no it does not
fast

yes it can
i have know idea
The cloud sends down electrons to the ground and when it finds a substance lightning can travel through than a discharge travels up to the cloud, the lightning. If you stand on rubber lightning wont discharge.

Lightning can strike up to 10 miles from it's parent storm cloud.
Answer The tallest buildings in the area because the lightning only has a short length to travel before coming into contact with something.Having a lightning rod also increases the chance of lightning striking.

Lightning can struck water pipes and travel all the way to the tub, and electrocute you.
