Lightning strikes strike near water because water is a good conductor of electricity. Most lightning strikes happen by the ocean because the salt makes it an even better conductor at electricity than fresh water.
No, lightning does not strike upwards. Lightning typically strikes downwards from the clouds to the ground.
No, lightning does not always strike the ground. Lightning can also strike other objects such as trees, buildings, or even other clouds.
A lightning strike can produce sound levels of up to 120 decibels.
No, lightning strikes from the sky down.
Yes, lightning can strike while a rainbow is present. Rainbows occur during or after a rain shower, which can also be associated with thunderstorms that produce lightning. Seeing both a rainbow and lightning at the same time is rare but possible.
Lightning can strike humans when they are in close proximity to a lightning strike, such as standing under a tree or near metal objects. The human body can become a path for the electrical current to travel, resulting in a lightning strike. In such cases, the lightning can cause serious injury or even death.
yes, because water is a very good conductor of lightning

Before a lightning strike, a charge builds up along the water's surface. When lightning strikes, most of electrical charge occurs near the water's surface. Most fish swim below the surface and are unaffected.
Lightning does strike ships.
Yes. Lightning CAN strike anything.
No, lightning does not strike upwards. Lightning typically strikes downwards from the clouds to the ground.
yes it can:)

No, lightning does not always strike the ground. Lightning can also strike other objects such as trees, buildings, or even other clouds.
Electricity travels fairly easily though water. Therefore, if lightning strike in or near a pool, any one in it has a good chance of being electrocuted.
Lightning strikes most frequently near the Equator because this region generally has warm, moist air that rises quickly, creating thunderstorms. These conditions are conducive to the development of lightning.
