Why is a tree not safe during lightning?

Trees can be struck by lightning due to their height, moisture content, and ability to conduct electricity. When struck, the lightning can travel through the tree's moist inner layers and the sap, potentially causing the tree to explode or catch fire. It's best to avoid seeking shelter under a tree during a lightning storm for safety reasons.

Why is it safer to be in a car than under a tree during a thunderstorm?

Lightning always takes the path of least resistance. A tree is tall and easily conducts electricity. A car will protect you because the lightning will travel through the car (less resistance) easier than a human body. the car sits on rubber tires wich act as an insulator isolating the car from the groun if you were to step out of the car as lightning struck you would be electrocuted.AnswerThe metal body of a car acts as a 'Faraday's Cage', which means you are totally protected against the affects of lighting. It has nothing to do with the fact that a car has rubber tyres!
