LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES TWICE IN THE SAME PLACE. IT IS THE MYTH OR A FACT?
Lightning can strike anywhere and it is certain that over geological time ALL places on Earth have been struck more than once. In cases where something on the surface may build up an electrical charge at a point (eg a lightening rod) then the lightning will certainly strike it much more frequently. Also if one films a SINGLE lightning strike at high speed, it is clear that what we see as a single strike is in fact many strikes, one after the other using the same ionised discharge path between the sky and earth. So a single lightning bolt actually strikes the same place more than once.
How do ships lessen the impact of a lightning strike?
Almost nothing is done to help prevent lightning strikes. This is because if lightning does hit, then all it will do is scorch the struck part of the ship of kill electronic navigation. Lightning doenst strike ships much to begin with, however.
How much radiation does a strike of lightning give off?
A single strike of lightning can give off varying amounts of radiation, typically in the form of gamma rays. The amount of radiation emitted can be influenced by factors such as the energy and distance of the strike. Lightning is not a significant source of radiation exposure compared to other natural sources like the sun or radon gas.
Is it a myth or a fact that lightning never strikes twice in the same place?
No,it can fall dozens of time in the same place. Go to starryskies.com/Artshtml/dln/5-00/lightening.htmlor wvlightning.com/lmwn1a.shtmlDepending on your interpretation of the myth, it can be true, there has never been a recorded instance where a lightning hit in the same way rather than the more famous interpretation of the end position.
Why does lightning strike so much in Florida?
Because the tropical heat on the surrounding ocean creates warm moist air that drives thunderstorms, which are the weather phenomena that create lightning.
How much electricity is contained in a single lightning strike?
A single lightning strike contains enough electricity to power a typical household for about a month.

Why do people study lightning?
People study lightening because it causes a lot of damage when it touches the ground or hits a person. Lightening is continually studied because there is not much know about where it will strike and why.

How much current amperes is in a lightning strike that lasts 0.050 seconds and tar drees 100 Coulombs?
The term "tar drees" does not make sense". Also, 100 Coulombs is awfully small for a lightning strike. Please restate the question.

Why does lightning strike so much in tangerine county Florida?
The Tangerine County of Florida gets hit by so much lightning because the state is a peninsula completely surrounded by warm tropical water. Evaporation in the unstable air of the tropics creates thunderstorms, and these create lightning.
Why do sometimes hear thunder at about the same time you see flash of lightning but other times you hear thunder after the flash?
If you hear the thunder almost at the same time as the lightning flash - the storm is directly overhead. Usually - the sound of thunder arrives a few seconds after the lightning, because light travels much faster than sound.
How much energy is in a lightning strike?
A single bold of lightning contains around 5 billion joules of energy. This is enough energy to power an average sized household for an entire month.
How much power is in one strike of lightning?
this depends on what you are asking, exactly. the actual measurement of power is very different than if you were asking how many volts are in a bolt a lightning. please clarify your question so we know how to answer.
