How does the process of grounding occur during a lightning strike?

When lightning strikes a surface, it strikes it will all the energy that it contains and this causes it to heat up to very high temperatures, which in smaller objects can cause them to burn up. In a surface which has large area, this energy gets dissipated over the entire surface and the amount of heat per unit area gets considerably reduced. A lightning rod works on transferring this large amount of energy to the ground so that the heat energy can be dissipated harmlessly.
