Do radio antennas get struck by lightning?

Yes, radio antennae do get struck by lightning. This possibility does not mean that lightning is attracted to it especially. Lightning is not attracted to anything in particular, but you are warned to stay away from high things and conductors like water and metal. If you are near a conductor, you could end up getting hurt since lightning travels fast. If you are near a tall thing, like a tree, if it gets struck, it could catch fire or fall over on you. I suggest if you aren't in a building the safest place to be would be a car.


Do lightning cause Earthquakes?

Lightning does not directly cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are typically caused by the movement of tectonic plates or volcanic activity. Lightning is a discharge of atmospheric electricity within a thunderstorm that does not have an impact on the Earth's crust to cause earthquakes.


Why do muck- fires cause lightning to strike?

lightning causes muck fires :)


What tornadoes cause lightning?

Tornadoes themselves do not produce lightning. Lightning is typically associated with thunderstorms, which can be present in the same weather system as tornadoes. Lightning occurs due to the separation of positive and negative charges within a thunderstorm cloud.


Do cosmic rays cause lightning?

No, cosmic rays do not cause lightning. Lightning is typically caused by the buildup of charge within a thundercloud, leading to a discharge of electricity to the ground. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles from space that can interact with Earth's atmosphere but do not directly cause lightning.

Does thunder cause lightning or does lightning cause thunder. Explain?

Lightning causes thunder. Lightning is a massive electrical discharge that you see as a bolt or flash of light. Thunder is the sound caused when the lightning superheats the air, creating a shockwave.

Does force of friction cause lightning?

No, the force of friction does not cause lightning. Lightning is caused by the buildup of electrical charges in a cloud, leading to a discharge of electricity between the cloud and the ground or between clouds.


How long does it take lightning to go around earth once?

The radio waves from a lightning stroke travel at the speed of light, you can hear them as clicks on a long-wave radio, and they travel round the world in 1/7th of a second.
