No, lightning has only negative effects on humans. The effects lightning can cause includes killing people and animals, damaging property, and destroying wiring that runs a home's electricity or even for a whole area. Lighting is also annoying to humans, we have to close pools, cancel sports practices, and not take showers and/or baths(preferably). Lightning to some people is a beautiful effect in the nature of the sky, however the damage it can cause is something that humans do not need to live with.

What is lightning without thunder?

Lightning is a visible discharge of electricity, often seen during a thunderstorm. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. So, without thunder, lightning would still be the sudden and bright flash of electricity in the sky.


Do humans live in the geosphere?

No, humans do not live in the geosphere. The geosphere refers to the solid part of the Earth composed of rocks, minerals, and landforms, while humans live on the Earth's surface known as the biosphere.


Has lightning hit a human?

Yes, lightning strikes can hit humans, but this is rare. When a person is struck by lightning, it can cause severe injuries such as cardiac arrest, burns, and neurological damage. It is important to take precautions when outdoors during storms to reduce the risk of being struck by lightning.


Does lightning need oxygen to exist?

No, lightning does not require oxygen to exist because it is an electrical discharge that occurs in the atmosphere. Lightning is the result of an imbalance of electrical charges in the atmosphere and is not dependent on the presence of oxygen.


How does lightning pass through a lightning rod to the ground?

Lightning follows the easiest path to discharge its energy. Ionized air during a storm causes the lightning to seek that quickest path. A lightning rod's sole purpose is to attract any lightning in the presence of ionized air to come toward the rod. So for example, lightning will seek the closest metal or tall object (including humans).
