Can lightning travel through a tree?
yes it can
Does lightning travel through ice?
yes its because when water is frozen the mobility of the movement of the electrons within the ice is significantly reduced.as the icy lattice structure of the ice cube forms,the electrons become rigid, and unmoving and their ability to conduct electricity is reduced.
Charged particles from the sun that travel through space at high speeds are called?
Solar flares
How does lightning travel?
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.
Does lightning travel in a straight line?
no it does not
Can lightning travel through a tree?
yes it can
What do alpha particles leave charged in their path when they travel through matter?
Charged ions
Does the Lightning bolt travel down from the cloud or up from the cloud?
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.
Where does lightning land?
One kind of lightning is a connection between two charged clouds. But you asked where it "lands", so you must be thinking about the other kind. Lightning is a connection between a charged cloud and the Earth. If there are objects around that can provide an easy path to the Earth, like trees, houses, skyscraper buildings, or steel radio towers, then lightning will take advantage of them and use them for part of its path. But even if there's nothing around that's any higher than the ground, and the lightning is forced to make the entire trip through air, it'll do that, and eventually connect the charged cloud to the Earth. I've written this carefully, to avoid any reference to one direction or the other, because lightning can travel up, from the ground to the cloud, just as easily as it can travel down, from the cloud to the ground.
Could lightning travel through the air as long as there is moisture?
lightning does not require water vapour in the air. It travels at light speed (approx) through an ionized path.
Are SNCF Trains allowed to travel through the Channel Tunnel?
Yes. Any train can travel through the Channel Tunnel which passes the required safety checks, and pays the toll to the owners of the tunnel (Eurotunnel).
Does lightning travel faster through dry air or moisture air?
It travels at the same speed.
Air is the poor conductor but during lightning electric current passes through itwhy?
air becomes good conductor during lightning and thunderstorm as usually it is a bad conductor because when there is lightning the lightning bolt travel through air,an electron flow takes place. this electron flow through the air leaves behinfd it a little hollow channel in the air it produces charge and air gets charged with this and becomes good conductor during lightning and thundestorm. thanx.......... prachi singh india

How do you travel from London to Deauville?
A combination of train through the Channel tunnel and further land travel. You could go by a ferry across the English Channel. You could fly to a nearby airport.

Solar flares
When was Travel Channel created?
Travel Channel was created in 1987.
