Rods that are made of metal, these are mounted on the roof and connected with large cross section conductors to a ground stake (usually buried in the ground a short distance from the building). The purpose is to have the lightning strike the rods and the energy be conducted to the ground so that the building does not suffer damage during a storm.

What is the difference between heat lightning and regular lightning?
Heat lightning is a term used to describe lightning that can be seen from a distance without hearing thunder.

Regular lightning produces thunder because it is closer to you, and the sound of thunder travels slower than light, causing a delay between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder.
