How much time does lightning strike in a minute on the earth?
lightning strikes about 6002 times in a minute on earth.
How do ships lessen the impact of a lightning strike?
Almost nothing is done to help prevent lightning strikes. This is because if lightning does hit, then all it will do is scorch the struck part of the ship of kill electronic navigation. Lightning doenst strike ships much to begin with, however.
Why does lightning strike so much in Florida?
Because the tropical heat on the surrounding ocean creates warm moist air that drives thunderstorms, which are the weather phenomena that create lightning.
LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES TWICE IN THE SAME PLACE. IT IS THE MYTH OR A FACT?
Lightning can strike anywhere and it is certain that over geological time ALL places on Earth have been struck more than once. In cases where something on the surface may build up an electrical charge at a point (eg a lightening rod) then the lightning will certainly strike it much more frequently. Also if one films a SINGLE lightning strike at high speed, it is clear that what we see as a single strike is in fact many strikes, one after the other using the same ionised discharge path between the sky and earth. So a single lightning bolt actually strikes the same place more than once.
Is it a myth or a fact that lightning never strikes twice in the same place?
No,it can fall dozens of time in the same place. Go to starryskies.com/Artshtml/dln/5-00/lightening.htmlor wvlightning.com/lmwn1a.shtmlDepending on your interpretation of the myth, it can be true, there has never been a recorded instance where a lightning hit in the same way rather than the more famous interpretation of the end position.

How much current amperes is in a lightning strike that lasts 0.050 seconds and tar drees 100 Coulombs?
The term "tar drees" does not make sense". Also, 100 Coulombs is awfully small for a lightning strike. Please restate the question.
What causes lightning to strike certain areas?
Normally lightning will more likely strike areas that are higher in elevation and objects that are good conductors of electricity. The path from cloud to ground is shorter and the required potential is lower. Thus, lightning frequently hits tall hills, tall buildings, and tall trees. Lightning also finds the easiest way to get to the ground without having to cross as much of the atmosphere. Except when ionized, air is not a good conductor. Lightning rods are designed to prevent damage to structures. They give the electric charges an easy path to the ground.

How much energy is in an lightning bolt?
If you catch on spark of a lightning bolt, it can give electricity to the world for a year.
How much energy is in a lightning strike?
A single bold of lightning contains around 5 billion joules of energy. This is enough energy to power an average sized household for an entire month.
Why does lightning strike so much in tangerine county Florida?
The Tangerine County of Florida gets hit by so much lightning because the state is a peninsula completely surrounded by warm tropical water. Evaporation in the unstable air of the tropics creates thunderstorms, and these create lightning.
How much power is in one strike of lightning?
this depends on what you are asking, exactly. the actual measurement of power is very different than if you were asking how many volts are in a bolt a lightning. please clarify your question so we know how to answer.
How much radiation does a computer transformer give off?
none. They are safe.
Is lightning a closed circuit?
When a lightning strike occurs, it has closed it's circuit, much like a light switch. Once the contacts in the light switch get close enough to cause current to flow, an arc occurs, all the way until actual contact is made. I maintain that the path of a lightning strike is preprogrammed, just before the actual strike occurs. The ground potential and the charge in the skies potential, feel each other and build up the power/potential to reach each other on the established sensed path. An actual strike occurs by part of the strike rising from the ground and the other part of the strike coming out of the sky, the meeting of the two culminating in the clap/boom noise heard when they meet. The lightning is a closed circuit as soon as the potential meeting of both ground and sky charges are sensed and before the actual strike appears in the sky.
