What would the speed of lightning be if it didn't zig zag?
The speed of lightning is the speed of light, which is about 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second) in a vacuum. If lightning traveled in a straight line instead of zigzagging, it would still move at the speed of light.
Why is the thunder is in the zig zag pattern?
The zig zag line is not made by thunder but by lightning. It finds the easiest path from the cloud to earth or to another cloud and this is not always straight, it would seem. The noise of thunder is made by the air, which gets heated a lot by the lightning and expands, collapsing in again rapidly after the strike.
What would it mean if you saw the flash of lightning and heard the roar of thunder at the same time?
Seeing lightning and hearing thunder at the same time indicates the lightning strike is occurring nearby. The speed of light is faster than sound, so if you witness them simultaneously, it suggests the lightning is very close. Take immediate precautions, as this situation poses a significant risk of being struck by lightning.
What sphere would lightning be found?
Lightning does not have cells, does not have a metabolism, does not reproduce, does not maintain homeostasis, and does not respond to stimuli.
Would the plastic lightning rod work better than the same as or not as well as a metal lightning rod?
A metal lightning rod is more conductive than a plastic one, so it would work better in attracting and conducting lightning strikes away from a structure. Plastic is not a good conductor of electricity, so a plastic lightning rod would not be as effective in protecting against lightning strikes.
How to write lightning speed in Japanese?
Lightning speed would be "kaminari no hayasa."

What is the speed of electricity or lightning compared to the speed of sound and light?
The speed of lightning is somewhere between that of light and sound which is why most scientists would agree that the speed of light and the speed of sound make a good comparison to that of lightning and electricity.
What is lightings speed?
the speed of light is 300 thousand kilometres a second, or 300 million metres a second. which means it would go around the world 7.5 times in a single second. a light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is 9.5 trillion kilometres. light is gamma rays, and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves that occur after either alpha or beta decay.

If the science of lightning strikes could be harnessed in spacecraft would spacecraft travel at or near speed of light?
No. Lightning and propulsion systems that we currently use have no relation to each other. Lightning is an atmospheric phenomenon and there is no atmosphere in space. The only thing along this line of thinking that may be distantly related is the theory of using an ion drive as a propulsion system. According to the theory, this may allow spacecraft to approach the speed of light. Ions are produced during lightning strikes, so there is a slight correlation.
Where on your body do you usually get struck by lightning?
the part on your body you would most likely get struck by lightning would be penis if you are aroused :)
How much is insurance for a lightning rod?
I do not think you would need to insure an lightning rod.
How many circuit breakers would a lightning strike trip?
Generally circuit breaker is not designed to trip off in the event of lightning. The system has lightning arrestors which reroute the lightning effect to earth instantly. If there are no lightning arrestors then the equipment are likely to fail upon a lightning strike.
Would a lightning rod work?
No
How long will it take to cross the universe at the speed of lightning?
I don't know about the speed of lightning, but the fastest you can go is at the speed of light. You can't "cross the Universe" at this speed, because of the accelerate expansion of the Universe. Light that is emitted from any object that is a certain distance away from us - somewhere in the order of 10 billion light-years - will never be able to reach us.
