Why did lightning strike?
If your asking why does it strike at all, it's because of the negative charges the atrract the energy. If your asking why does it strike at all, it's because of the negative charges the atrract the energy.
What makes the flash of a lightning strike larger than that of a carpet shock?
A lightning shock is bigger than a carpet shock because a lightning shock has bigger and more severe energy.
Can lightning strike while there's a rainbow?
yes it will strike
How hot can a lightning strike get?
The lightning strike can get up to 30,000 Celsius which is 6 times hotter than the surface of the sun.
Does lighting strike cell towers?
A cell tower can receive multiple lightning strikes in just one year, but due to the construction, the energy received from the lightning bolt is transferred to the soil at the base of the tower. Cell towers, like any tall metallic object, is a beacon to lightning and the higher the tower is in height, the more susceptible it is to receive the strike.
How much radiation does a strike of lightning give off?
Radiation of lightning, X-ray, can have energy exceeding 20MeV.
What energy is lightning strike?
It contains electric energy. Also sound energy is produced initially.
Why did lightning strike?
If your asking why does it strike at all, it's because of the negative charges the atrract the energy. If your asking why does it strike at all, it's because of the negative charges the atrract the energy.
How many amps to burn out the house energy?
Any lightning strike will burn out the service.
Can lightning strike a surfer?
Yes. Lightning CAN strike anything.
Why doesn't lightning strike ships?
Lightning does strike ships.
A example of an electrical energy?
a lightning strike, the plug in a wall, anything that you need electricity to power
When was The Lightning Strike created?
The Lightning Strike was created on 2008-10-24.
How much time does lightning strike in a minute on the earth?
lightning strikes about 6002 times in a minute on earth.
Will a lightning strike cause damage to a motorized awning?
That depends entirely upon whether or not the structure is grounded. If it's grounded usually through a lightning rod connect to a grounded post, then the energy of the strike will transfer to the ground harmlessly. If it's not a lightning strike would destroy the awning and possibly set it on fire.
What makes the flash of a lightning strike larger than that of a carpet shock?
A lightning shock is bigger than a carpet shock because a lightning shock has bigger and more severe energy.
What form of energy is lightning?
Lightning is electrical energy. In the process of discharging that energy, (the lightning strike) it converts into mechanical energy (sound), heat energy, electro-mechanical energy (as herd as static on an AM radio), light energy. Energy cannot be created, or destroyed only converted.Harvesting the power of lightning has proved to be very difficult, and no one has successfully found a way. A lightning strike happens very quickly, so extremely high electrical power is involved. It is difficult to convert high voltage power to the lower-voltage electricity that can be stored. Theoretically, yes, the energy from a lightning bolt be caught and stored. Practically, no, you would never be able to build a big enough capacitor to hold the charge. There is just too much energy in a lightning bolt to harness with today's technology. although there are those that believe this fulminology machine actually exists and at this moment in time is being withheld due the enormity of its consequences?its plasma
