Do trains get hit by lightning?

Trains, like many other objects, do get struck by lightning. Usually, this is a minor matter. Trains are large metallic objects that are extremely well grounded in the electrical sense, so even the rather large current of a lightning strike can flow directly through the train to the tracks and to the Earth with no consequence. There are exceptions and there are cases where a lightning strike has resulted in a power failure on a train with serious consequences. But, the normal directly inflicted damage from a lightning strike is really so small as to go unnoticed.


What two things are caused as the earth rotates on its axis?

If objects had no weight what would earth be like?

If objects had no weight (ie if there was no gravity), then the Earth would not have formed in the first place. Neither would the Sun, or the Galaxies. On the other hand, if Earth's gravity suddenly disappeared tomorrow, then we (and anything not stuck down - including the atmosphere) would just fly off into space!


Where did earth get its moon?

The Giant Impactor Theory proposes that a small planet the size of Mars struck the Earth just after the formation of the solar system, ejecting large volumes of heated material from the outer layers of both objects. A disk of orbiting material was formed, and this eventually stuck together to form the Moon in orbit around the Earth.
